Seated Banded Row
Exercise Overview
This is a strengthening exercise to target the scapular retractors. Loop a band around a dumbbell that is anchored down at your feet. Grab both ends of the band with your hands and complete a row. Focus on squeezing the shoulders blades back as if to squeeze a pencil between them. Keep the shoulders down and back as you complete the exercise to isolate the movement away from the upper trapezius.
