  1. Attach the band to a high anchor point, such as a pull-up bar or sturdy beam.
  2. Stand facing the anchor point with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  3. Grasp the band with an underhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  4. Extend your arms fully overhead, keeping your elbows slightly bent.
  5. Engage your lats and pull the band down towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  6. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly release the tension and return to the starting position.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
