This one is all about back strength … the kind that supports everything else you do.
The Banded Pulldown activates your lats and upper back, which play a huge role in posture, stability, and overall strength. When these muscles are switched on, your shoulders feel supported and your core naturally engages.
Strong back = strong foundation.
How to Do It:
1️⃣ Anchor the loop band overhead and grip it with both hands.
2️⃣ Stand tall, core lightly braced, chest proud.
3️⃣ Pull the band down toward your ribcage, elbows driving back and down.
4️⃣ Squeeze the muscles between your shoulder blades.
5️⃣ Slowly return with control.
This move helps build the kind of strength that carries into push-ups, rows, planks, and everyday movement … not just “upper body days.”
Pro Tip:
Think about pulling your elbows toward your back pockets. If you feel it mostly in your arms, slow it down and focus on your back doing the work.
