Band Underhand Pulldown
The band underhand pulldown is a resistance band exercise targeting the latissimus dorsi (lats) and also engaging the biceps and forearms. It mimics the movement of a lat pulldown machine but uses a resistance band anchored overhead.

- 2.Stand facing the anchor point with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- 3.Grasp the band with an underhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- 4.Extend your arms fully overhead, keeping your elbows slightly bent.
- 5.Engage your lats and pull the band down towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- 6.Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly release the tension and return to the starting position.
- 7.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
