Pulsing Upright Row

Choose your desired foot position with the band, and any hand grip. You may decide to work only in the mid-point of the exercise, or through its complete range of movement. The pulsing method can be used for a number of different band exercises.

Perform your normal action for any of your shoulder resistance band exercises, however this time focus on keeping the tension on the band for as long as possible, whilst you make small controlled pulsing movements (1 - 2 inches) in order to complete the movement.

Alternate your arms, in order to allow one arm to rest and recover, as this method, even though may sound simple, will shortly become quite difficult.

Aim to keep your abdominals muscles tight throughout to avoid swinging or leaning forward during the movement, focusing on keeping your back straight and your head up.

Always check for any signs of wear and tear in the resistance band, especially in the middle of the band, and around the insertion into the handle.
