Band-Only Row
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.
- Equipment
- Band
HOW TO PERFORM
- Anchor the band in front of you at chest height, or loop it around your feet while seated.
- Take a handle in each hand with the arms straight and the chest up.
- Pull the handles to the ribs, elbows past the body, then return under control.
FORM TIPS
- Finish every rep by squeezing the shoulder blades together rather than by bending the arms harder.
- Step further back to make it heavier. There is no plate to add, so distance from the anchor is the load.
