Your foundational vertical pull is a lat pulldown. However, you may not have access to a gym, so resistance bands are here again to save the day.
- ALTERNATIVE: VERTICAL PULL WITH BANDS
Remember, resistance bands come in different thicknesses—i.e., different levels of resistance.
- PROGRESSION: PULL-UP
The pullup is not easy, but if you can pull it off, you’ll not only be the envy of all your workout buddies, but you’ll also be working a wide range of muscles in the arms, forearms, upper back, shoulders, and core.
Don’t worry if you can’t do a pullup, or if you never do a pullup.
