  4. 4.Step back to create tension in the band, keeping your arms fully extended.
  5. 5.Engage your core and squeeze your shoulder blades together.
  6. 6.Pull the band down towards your chest, leading with your elbows.
  7. 7.Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, feeling the contraction in your lats.
