EXERCISE INSTRUCTION
- Stand on the band with one foot.
- Grasp the band handles with your upper grip. Pull the handles of the band just above shoulder level.
- The palms are facing forward. Step back with one foot. Spread your chest and pull your shoulders back slightly. Bend the spine a little and fix it in the most comfortable position for you until the end of the approach.
- As you exhale, squeeze the handles of the band on outstretched arms straight up. The arms should be fully extended and the shoulders raised.
- At the top, the handles should touch each other slightly.
- As you inhale, slowly lower your arms down to the starting position.
NOTE: Do not relax your abs and muscles surrounding the spine for the rest of the set. Keep them in constant tension. It is these muscles that provide a strong and stationary position of the torso – the main condition, without which it is impossible to work out the deltas with high quality.
