Banded Pullover

Resistance-band variation: resistance increases as the band stretches and allows training with little equipment by adjusting anchor and starting tension.

How to do it

• Check the band and anchor before every set
• Start with enough tension to maintain resistance
• Control the return and do not let the band pull you back

Sets, reps and tempo

Ranges: 12–20 reps · 0–1 RIR

Tempo: Pull down for 1 s with straight arms squeezing your lat, return for 2–3 s under control

Common mistakes

• Using a damaged band or unsafe anchor
• Shortening the range because end-range resistance is too high
