Technique
Setup
Anchor the band at elbow height. Stand side-on with the working arm furthest from the anchor, elbow bent 90° and tucked to your side.
Movement
Rotate your forearm outward away from your body, keeping the elbow pinned. Return slowly to the start.
Form Tip
Place a towel between your elbow and ribs — if it falls, your elbow is drifting.
Increase Difficulty
Step further from the anchor for more tension.
Decrease Difficulty
Step closer to the anchor or use the lightest band you have.
