Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Band Narrow Grip High Row

  • Extend your arms straight out in front of you at chest level, ensuring the band is taut.
  • Slowly pull the band towards your chest, keeping your elbows high and close to your body.
  • Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position.
  • Repeat this motion for your desired number of repetitions, maintaining a controlled movement throughout.

Tips for Performing Band Narrow Grip High Row

  • Proper Grip: Hold the band with a narrow grip, keeping your hands closer than shoulder-width apart. This helps target the muscles in your upper back and shoulders. A common mistake is to grip the band too widely, which can strain your shoulders.
  • Controlled Movements: Avoid jerky or fast movements. Instead, pull the band towards your upper abdomen or lower chest in a slow and controlled manner. Then, gradually release it back to the starting position. This technique helps to engage and strengthen your muscles more effectively.
  • Maintain Tension: Keep the band taut throughout the exercise. If the band is too loose, you won't be effectively working your muscles. If it's too tight, you risk injury. 5
