How to Perform the Upright Row Squat with Resistance Bands

Muscles Worked: Shoulders, triceps, biceps, quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings.

Starting Position: Stand on the resistance band with your feet shoulder width apart. Hold the handles of the band one inch apart with your palms facing you.

Action: Move your body down into a squat while keeping the handles in front of you with your arms fully extended. Squat as low as you can without your knees bending more than 90-degrees.

As you stand back up from the squat, keep your hands about an inch apart and bend your arms so that the handles come up to an inch below your chin. Your elbows should be pointed directly to the side. Move your body down into a squat and extend your elbows at the same rate.

Tips:

1.     Try different resistance bands of different tensions.

2.     Keep your hands one inch apart from each other at all times.
