Standing Pull Back Press
Exercise Overview
The standing pull back press is a strengthening exercise to target the scapular retractors and shoulder external rotators. Loop a band around a stable anchor or squat rack. Grab the free end of the band with your hand and pull your hand back to your shoulder. Keep your elbow stacked directly below your wrist by keeping your forearms vertical to the floor. Raise your hand above your head in a pressing motion without allowing your hand to shift forwards relative to your elbow.
