How to do a band upright row

  1. Stand on the center of the band with feet shoulder-width apart, holding one handle in each hand in front of your thighs with palms facing your body.
  2. Keep your back straight and core engaged.
  3. Pull the handles straight up toward your chin, leading with your elbows.
  4. Raise your elbows until they are level with or slightly above your shoulders.
  5. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the handles back to the starting position.

Form tips

  • Keep the band close to your body throughout the movement.
  • Lead the motion with your elbows, not your hands.
  • Avoid shrugging your shoulders or using momentum.
