Band Close-Grip Pulldown
The band close-grip pulldown is a resistance exercise targeting the latissimus dorsi (lats) using a resistance band anchored overhead. It mimics the motion of a cable pulldown but uses a band for resistance, making it accessible and effective for home workouts.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Attach the band to a high anchor point, such as a pull-up bar or sturdy beam.
- 2.Stand facing the anchor point and grab the band with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
- 3.Step back to create tension in the band, keeping your feet hip-width apart.
- 4.Engage your core and keep your back straight as you pull the band down towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- 5.Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly release the band back to the starting position.
- 6.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
