Band Upright Row

• Keeping your back straight, pull the band upward towards your chest, leading with your elbows and ensuring they're higher than your hands at the top of the movement.
• Hold this position for a few seconds, feeling the tension in your shoulders and upper back.
• Slowly lower the band back down to the starting position, maintaining control of the movement.
• Repeat the exercise for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your movements smooth and controlled throughout.

• Proper Grip: Hold the ends of the band in each hand with your palms facing your body. Your hands should be slightly less than shoulder-width apart. Avoid holding the band too wide as this can put unnecessary strain on your shoulders.
• Controlled Movements: As you pull the band up towards your chest, keep your elbows high and your shoulders down. The movement should be slow and controlled, not jerky or rushed. Rapid or uncontrolled movements can lead to muscle strain or injury.
• Maintain Posture: Keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise. Avoid rounding your back or leaning forward as this can put undue stress on your lower back.
• Avoid Over Pulling: Do not pull
