Upright Row Resistance Band
Upright Row Resistance Band
The upright row with a resistance band is an effective exercise to strengthen your shoulders and upper back. It’s a great option for building upper body strength with minimal equipment.
How to do Upright Row Resistance Band
- Stand on the resistance band with feet shoulder-width apart, holding the handles or band ends in each hand.
- Keeping your hands close together, pull the band upward towards your chest, leading with your elbows.
- Stop when your elbows are level with your shoulders, then slowly lower the band back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
Form Tips
- Keep your elbows higher than your wrists throughout the movement.
- Maintain a neutral spine and engage your core for stability.
- Avoid shrugging your shoulders—focus on using your upper back and shoulders to lift.
- Control the resistance band on both the upward and downward phases for maximum benefit.
