Band pull-apart: how to do it and what it works
Horizontal opening with a band for the rear delt and scapular control.
How to do it
Standing band pull-apart
Band opening at chest height that trains shoulder horizontal abduction and scapular retraction.
Form. Hold the band with long arms, open in a controlled way and finish when your shoulder blades come together without shrugging.
Common mistake. Hyperextending the back, pulling with the upper trapezius, bending the elbows a lot, or choosing a band that forces you to use momentum.
