Exercise Description

The close grip band row builds middle back strength and improves posture. It targets your rhomboids and mid-traps while working your biceps and lats as helpers.

How To

1. Anchor the band at chest height and grab handles with palms facing down 2. Step back until there's tension in the band, arms extended forward 3. Pull handles to your chest by squeezing shoulder blades together for the close grip band row 4. Hold for one second, feeling the squeeze in your middle back 5. Slowly return to start position, controlling the band's resistance throughout the close grip band row movement

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and shoulders back throughout the close grip band row • Pull with your back muscles, not just your arms • Squeeze shoulder blades together at the end of each close grip band row rep • Don't let the band snap back - control the return phase

Common Mistakes

• Rounding shoulders forward instead of keeping them back during the close grip band row • Using only arm strength instead of engaging the back muscles properly • Letting the band snap back too quickly during the close grip band row return phase
