Band pull over

Reserved for people of intermediate level, this movement is complete and allows to work effectively several muscles at the same time. In addition, it will also engage your lats to allow your arms to stay in the same axis and stabilize the back on the bench on the excentric way.

Shoulders are heavily stressed and must be stable during exercise.
