Handle Band Row

BeginnerResistance band

The handle band row copies a cable or machine row using nothing but a resistance band underfoot. It builds the mid-back, rear shoulders and biceps while reinforcing an upright posture. Because it folds into a bag, it's a genuine row you can do anywhere.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand on the centre of the band with feet hip-width apart, gripping a handle in each hand, palms facing each other.

  2. 2

    Hinge at the hips and sit back until your torso is around 45 degrees to the floor; keep this angle throughout.

  3. 3

    Drive both elbows back past your ribs and pull the handles toward your lower chest.

  4. 4

    Pause for a beat as your shoulder blades draw together.

  5. 5

    Let the handles travel back out under control until the arms are extended, then repeat.
