Technique

How to perform Kneeling Resistance Band Lat Pulldown

1. Secure a long loop band or a handled tube band to a stable overhead anchor.
2. Hold one side of the loop or one tube-band handle in each hand and kneel where the band has tension with your arms overhead.
3. Keep your torso tall and your ribs over your pelvis rather than leaning back to pull.
4. Bend your elbows and draw them down toward your ribs until your hands approach shoulder level.
5. Let your shoulder blades move with the pull instead of pinning them down throughout the overhead return.
6. Straighten your arms overhead under control, keeping the torso still and tension in the band.
7. An exercise mat may be used for knee comfort but is not required for the movement.
