How to do Band Kneeling Pulldown

  1. Anchor a band high overhead — over a door, a beam, or a pull-up bar — and grab both ends.
  2. Kneel down far enough that the band has tension at full arm extension, with arms reaching up and out.
  3. Pull both elbows down and slightly back toward your ribs, leading with the elbows rather than the hands.
  4. Squeeze your shoulder blades down and together at the bottom, feeling the lats fully contract.
  5. Slowly return to the starting position over 2 to 3 seconds, fighting the band the whole way up.
  6. Repeat for 10 to 15 reps, prioritizing a strong lat squeeze at the bottom of every rep.
