Movement notes
- 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.
- To begin, pull the band behind your head, holding it with a pronated grip and your elbows up. This will be your starting position.
- To perform the movement, extend through the elbow to to straighten your arms, ensuring that you keep your upper arm in place.
- Pause, and then return to the starting position.
