Area Targeted: Outer Back

Forget Pull Ups! We have Wide Grip Lat Pull Down With Resistance Tube Bands. This exercise is amazing at building strength and size in the Latissimus Dorsi ( Back Muscles That Create Back Width). You may not be able to do many pull ups, which limits training and therefore progress. This is where the Wide Grip Lat Pull With Bands exercise shines. Use adjustable resistance to progress week after week.

Follow the instructions below to perform this exercise:

SET UP

Anchor: Secure the band(s) to the door with the door anchor at top of the door.

Bands: Attach a handle to each end of the band(s).

Body Positioning: Grip a handle with each hand and kneel down on one knee, 3 to 4 feet from the door while facing the door. Keep your back straight, head straight, shoulders down, and arms pointed towards the anchor with palms facing down.

MOVEMENT

Pull the handles down and out to the sides until your hands are even with your chin. Return to the starting position (controlling the resistance). Repeat.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

1. Grip the handles loosely, just tight enough so that you will not let go.

2. Pull through your elbows.
