Instructions
1. Set an incline bench to a 45-degree angle.
2. Attach resistance bands to a low sturdy object or the base of the incline bench.
3. Kneel with one leg on the bench and lean forward so that your chest is pressed against the inclined pad. The opposite foot should be firmly planted on the floor for stability.
4. Hold the resistance band handles with each hand, arms extended towards the floor and palms facing each other.
5. Exhale as you lift your arms straight out to your sides, keeping them parallel to the ground, forming a 'T' shape with your body. Your palms should face the ground when your arms are lifted.
6. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement, engaging the posterior deltoids and upper back muscles.
7. Inhale as you slowly return your arms back to the starting position under control.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Make sure to keep your back straight, head in line with your spine, and avoid any jerking movements. Adjust the resistance of the band to suit your strength level.
