How to perform Band Shoulder Pass Through with proper form

Starting Position

  1. Grip: Hold a light resistance band with both hands, much wider than shoulder width.
  2. Body: Stand tall with the band in front of your hips and your arms straight.

Movement

  1. Overhead Phase:

    • Raise the band in front of you and over your head, keeping your arms straight.
  2. Behind Phase:

    • Continue the arc until the band touches your lower back.
  3. Return Phase:

    • Reverse the movement back over your head to the front of your hips.

Key Points

  • Keep the arms straight. Bending the elbows removes the stretch.
  • Start with a wide grip and bring the hands closer only as your shoulders allow.
  • Move slowly and keep your ribs down, without arching your lower back.
