How To Do Shoulder Elastic Band Rows
Leah ZahnerDescription
In order to have good posture and balance, upper back muscles need training. Resistance band shoulder exercises are great for rehabbing an upper back injury, improving back strength, and helping to stabilize your shoulders.
Straighter, lower rev players require less shoulder rotation in the finish position than higher rev players that have to open the lane up more. Both players require a certain amount of back and shoulder strength and will greatly benefit from resistance band shoulder exercises. This exercise will make a huge impact for longer format tournaments where fatigue can be an issue.
Step 1
Get seated on the floor and loop your resistance band around your feet.
Step 2
Next, sit up as tall as possible. Grip the band with your shoulders pressed down away from your ears.
Step 3
Once you are in place, squeeze your shoulders together, pulling your elbows back. Hold the stretch in place for a second, release and repeat.
Imagine you have a pencil in between your shoulder blades with the goal of holding it in between your shoulders as you pull your elbows back.
Additional Tips
- – Keep your abs clenched throughout the exercise and try not to swing your torso back and forth.
- – Try not to let your arms do all of the work.
- – Keep your back straight with your chest out and your shoulders relaxed.
Bowling requires a lot of back and shoulder strength throughout the approach. Resistance band shoulder exercises add just the right amount of resistance to help improve strength in your back and shoulders that are needed to avoid bowling fatigue.

This exercise is an excellent exercise to help rehab an upper body injury, strengthen the muscles of your upper back, and start to help stabilize your shoulders. This can be used as injury rehab, or as a warmup if you're going to be working on any intensive upper body workouts, such as bowling. I'll be using a resistance band. You can get a whole bunch of different sets of these. They're always color coded according to resistance. That's one way that you can adjust the resistance. And another way that you can adjust it is how close you hold onto the band. I'm going to show this exercise seated but there's a couple other ways that you can do this depending on where you are and what equipment you have. And I'll talk you through that. If you doing this seated, you'll simply come to the floor, take your resistance band and loop it around your feet. That's going to hold it into place for you. And then you're going to sit up as tall as possible. Gripping the band with your shoulders, pressed down away from your ears. Once you're in place, squeeze your shoulder blades together to pull your elbows back and repeat. You almost want to imagine you've got a number two pencil right between your shoulder blades, and every time you pull your elbows back, you'll squeeze and hold it in place and release. If you want to make it a little more challenging, you'll hold onto the band a little closer to your feet. That will increase resistance. You can switch out to a heavier resistance band or if you're standing, you can take your band, wrap it around a pole and simply move closer or further away from the pole to adjust your resistance.
