Standing on a band with a handle in each hand about shoulder-width apart, the elbows lead the handles up to the lower chest, stopping at shoulder height: the upright row against a band, which works much as weights do at matched effort.

These tiers compare demands within this family, not universal safety or a mandatory sequence. Load, range, balance and your circumstances can change difficulty. Choose deliberately; pain does not select a progression.

How to move
Stand on the middle of a band, a handle in each hand on the thighs, the hands a foot or more apart.
Lead with the elbows to draw the handles straight up to the lower chest, stopping when the elbows reach shoulder height.
Lower them slowly.
Form cues
The elbows stay above the hands.
Widen the stance on the band to make it harder.
Practice and cautions
No universal dose is assigned. Choose a manageable amount for your current capacity, leave room for controlled repetitions, and allow recovery. A clinician’s individual plan takes priority.
Keep the hands at least a foot apart and stop when the elbows reach shoulder height: rows taken higher were linked to shoulder impingement. Leave it out with shoulder pain. This is movement education, not an assessment or treatment prescription. Stop for sharp or increasing pain, dizziness, numbness or tingling; seek individual guidance for symptoms, injury or restrictions.
