In this clip we are going to be doing a rear deltoid row. Okay, now you need to have an inclined bench for this so remember other options for the row. You are going to take your band and attach it underneath your bench. Now you can have your feet on the bench or on the floor, whatever is most comfortable. I like to stay on the bench. Make sure the bands are nice and even and you are going to go up. This is a really good exercise because it helps to work the rear deltoids. You just want to keep the handles nice and even. You can even tighten this up a little bit, but for our purposes you want to have a constant resistance going on. Right now it is kind of slack when I get down to the bottom so I will readjust that in a minute. You can even change the angles. This is more of a reverse fly. What I like is to sometimes add a twist. So I am going to start off with this and rotate out. It is really good for strengthening the upper back and shoulders. And what you could do is you could vary it up. You could set; you could do a set of each, hand movement with the modification so you can hit each angle of the upper back. Now if you are not really strong in your upper back and your shoulders you can keep this slack going on here, but I like to have constant resistance so that it is a constant challenge for me.
