How to do it

Vertical press with a band that demands rib and shoulder control while the resistance rises at the end of the range.

Form. Stand on the band safely, place your hands at shoulder height and press overhead without losing a neutral pelvis.

Common mistake. Using a band that is too hard, arching the lower back, pushing the neck forward, or locking the elbows violently.
