Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a resistance band with both hands. Bend at the hips and knees, keeping your back straight.

  1. Pull the band towards your torso, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  2. Keep your elbows close to your body as you row the band.
  3. Slowly return to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.

How to perform the Band bent-over row

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Band bent-over row using your band.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your biceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your biceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
