Exercise
Band underhand pulldown
Band underhand pulldown is a moderate exercise. It trains back.
Detailed explanation
Attach the band to a high anchor point, such as a pull-up bar or sturdy beam. Stand facing the anchor point with your feet shoulder-width apart. Grasp the band with an underhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Extend your arms fully overhead, keeping your elbows slightly bent. Engage your lats and pull the band down towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly release the tension and return to the starting position.
