Elbows bent, tucked by your sides

  1. Starting position

    Anchor the band high, grip the ends and stand with your elbows bent and tucked close to your sides.

  2. The movement

    Press your hands down until your arms are straight, then let the band pull them up with control.

Most common mistake

Don't pull with your shoulders or body, keep your upper arms still and only straighten your elbows.
