Resistance Band Pull-ApartMany people start their back workout with resistance band pull-apart exercises. This exercise is simple but effective. Choose a resistance band that allows you to complete 1–2 sets of 15–20 reps with good form.The main movement of this exercise is scapular retraction, which means you’re pulling your shoulder blades together.3.
