Half-Kneeling Lat Stretch with Band

Technique

How to perform Half-Kneeling Lat Stretch with Band

1. Secure a long-loop resistance band or flat therapy band to a stable overhead anchor.
2. Kneel on your right knee with your left foot forward, and hold the band overhead in your right hand with your palm facing inward.
3. Keep the right elbow straight and begin with your torso upright.
4. Move your hips back toward your right heel and lean gently left as the right arm reaches overhead and slightly across.
5. Pause without forcing the range or arching your lower back to gain reach.
6. Return upright under control, easing the band tension.
7. Repeat on the other side with the left knee down and left hand holding the band.
