Standing · Upper back

Standing One-Arm Row

Works one side of the back at a time, with your free hand on a chair for support.

How to do it

  1. Stand next to a sturdy chair. Step your left foot forward and place the middle of the EZband under it.
  2. Rest your left hand on the chair back for support and hinge slightly forward.
  3. Hold the band in your right hand with your arm hanging down.
  4. Pull your right elbow back along your side toward your hip.
  5. Pause, then lower slowly.
  6. Do 8–10 reps, then switch sides.

Form tips

  • Keep your hips and shoulders square — don't twist.
  • Squeeze the shoulder blade back and down at the top.
  • Keep your wrist straight.

Using your EZband

Band under the front foot, held in the working hand. Shorten your grip for more resistance.

Beginner modifications

  • Do it seated, with the band under the foot on the same side.
  • Stand upright with no hinge.

Safety notes

  • Keep a steady hand on the chair throughout.
  • Stop if you feel pain in the low back.
