Band Row
Back
A band works your back differently to a cable or a barbell — there's almost no resistance when your arms are extended and it climbs fast the closer you pull it in, so the last inch of every rep is where it actually gets hard. Anchor the band at chest height and step back until you feel tension even at arm's length. Pull your elbows back and squeeze your shoulder blades together, keeping your torso still rather than leaning back to help the pull. Let your arms extend fully in front of you between reps so you're using that full range, band tension and all. Move to a shorter, tighter setup as it gets easy — that's how you add load without more equipment.
