Lat Pull Down
For this back exercise, you will need to anchor the bands on something above you, such as a sturdy bar railing. If you have the door attachment for your resistance bands, you can also use that.
Wrap the band around a bar above your head.
Stand below the bar grabbing one end of the band in each hand, your palms facing away from you.
Squeeze your shoulder blades down and together, while pulling your elbows past your sides.
Pause for a count then slowly release. Always maintain a slight bend in your elbows.
