- Proper Grip: Use a wide grip, but not so wide that it puts unnecessary strain on your shoulders. Your hands should be more than shoulder-width apart. Avoid gripping the band too tightly as it can lead to wrist strain.
- Maintain Posture: Keep your back straight and chest out throughout the exercise. Avoid slouching or rounding your back, as this can lead to back injury and won't effectively work the targeted muscles.
- Controlled Movement: When pulling the band, ensure the movement is controlled and slow. Avoid the mistake of jerking the band towards you, as this can lead to muscle strain. Instead, focus on the muscles in your back and arms doing the work.
