How to Do the Band close-grip pulldown

Attach the band to a high anchor point, such as a pull-up bar or sturdy beam. Stand facing the anchor point and grab the band with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart. Step back to create tension in the band, keeping your feet hip-width apart. Engage your core and keep your back straight as you pull the band down towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly release the band back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
