Your palm should face behind you, pull the band down and out as you rotate your palm facing to the front with your thumb pointing down.
- FEEL: You should feel your shoulder blade muscles working.
- COMPENSATION: Keep your upper trap muscles relaxed, don’t shrug your shoulders. Don’t twist your body, let your shoulder do all of the motion.
