Band pull apart

Instructions

• Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart and hold a resistance band with both hands at shoulder height.
• Extend your arms fully in front of you, keeping them parallel to the floor.
• Pull the band apart by moving your arms laterally until the band touches your chest or your arms are in line with your shoulders.
• Pause briefly, then return slowly to the starting position under control.

Technical Tips

• Keep your arms straight throughout the movement to maintain constant tension.
• Avoid shrugging your shoulders or arching your lower back.
• Engage your core and squeeze your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement.

Breathing Tips

• Inhale while bringing the band back to the starting position.
• Exhale as you pull the band apart.
