Steps
Attach a resistance band to a stable anchor point above head height and hold one end in each hand.
Kneel down with your side to the anchor point and reach one arm across your body, palm facing up.
Keep your arm straight as you pull the band down towards your hip, leading with your elbow and squeezing your lat muscle.
Pause briefly at the end of the movement, then slowly release the band back up to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
Benefits
