Technique

How to perform Seated Resistance Band Row

  1. Secure a long loop band or a tube band with handles to a suitable low anchor and sit on the floor facing it.
  2. Hold the loop or handles with your palms facing inward, arms reaching forward and your torso upright.
  3. Bend the elbows and draw them back beside your torso as the shoulder blades come together.
  4. Keep your chest and pelvis steady instead of leaning back to move the band.
  5. Return the hands forward under control, allowing the elbows to straighten and the shoulder blades to move forward naturally.
  6. Repeat without jerking the band or exceeding its intended stretch range.
