Description: Hold a resistance band in front of you with arms extended. Pull your elbows back, raise your elbows, bring your shoulder blades together, and guide your hands towards your face. Keep your shoulders down and your shoulder blades well retracted in the end position.

Tips: Keep your back straight and avoid shrugging your shoulders during the movement. Control the pulling force to prevent a sudden increase in tension.
