Deadlift To Row (Band)
A compound exercise combining a deadlift with a row, targeting the hamstrings, glutes, and back muscles using a resistance band.
Instructions
- Stand on a resistance band with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Hold one end of the band in each hand with arms extended.
- Hinge at the hips and bend your knees slightly, lowering your torso toward the floor while keeping the band taut.
- Drive through your heels to return to standing position.
- At the top, pull the band upward toward your chest, driving your elbows back.
- Squeeze your back muscles at the peak of the row.
- Lower the band back to the starting position and repeat.
Tips
- Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement to protect your lower back.
- Keep the band taut during the entire exercise for consistent resistance.
- The movement combines hip hinge with a pulling motion for maximum efficiency.
- Breathe out during the pull and breathe in during the return.
- This is an excellent full-body compound exercise for developing posterior chain strength.
