Standing Back Row with Curl Bar

Area Targeted: Outer Back

Experience the power of engaging your Lats during a rowing exercise with the Standing Two Arm Back Row using Resistance Tube Bands. This exercise isolates and targets the Lats (your V-Taper or Wing Back muscles) like no other. Combine it with the Bodylastics Curl Bar and perform this exercise multiple times a week to rapidly build impressive back strength and width!

Learn set-up, movements and points to remember below:

Set Up

Anchor: Secure the band(s) to the door with the door anchor at chest height

Bands: Thread the band(s) through the anchor and attach each end of the band(s) to an outer ring of the bar.

Body Positioning: Grip the bar with each hand, shoulders width apart, palms facing up. Stand 3 to 4 feet from the door while facing the door. Keep your head straight, your chest up, and a slight bend in your legs. Your arms should be straight out in front of you (forearms parallel to the floor.)
