Movement instructions

1
For this exercise anchor a band to the ground. We used an incline bench and anchored the band to the base, standing over the bench. Alternatively, this could be performed standing on the band.
2
To begin, pull the band behind your head, holding it with a pronated grip and your elbows up. This will be your starting position.
3
To perform the movement, extend through the elbow to to straighten your arms, ensuring that you keep your upper arm in place.
4
Pause, and then return to the starting position.

Technique guidance

Exhale as the target muscle shortens against resistance and inhale during the controlled return. Keep breathing steadily throughout the set.

Use a stable setup and a load or resistance you can control through a comfortable range.
Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or feel unwell.
Inspect the band and anchor before use, keep the recoil path clear, and replace damaged equipment.
