Technique
How to do the Kneeling Pulldown (band)
- Anchor a resistance band to a secure high point, such as the top of a door or a pull-up bar. Kneel down facing the anchor and grasp the band with both hands, arms extended overhead so there is tension in the band.
- Keeping your torso upright, pull the band down toward the top of your chest by driving your elbows down and back.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together and hold briefly at the bottom of the movement.
- Slowly extend your arms back overhead with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Make sure the band is securely anchored before starting the movement.
- Exhale as you pull the band down and inhale as you return to the starting position.
- Focus on pulling with your lats and driving your elbows down, rather than pulling with your hands.
- Keep your torso upright and avoid leaning back to complete the pull.
