Description

A compound exercise combining a split jump with a single arm row using a resistance band. It works both the lower and upper body.

How to Do Resistance Band Split Jump with Single Arm Row

  1. 1
    Setup

    Secure a resistance band to a sturdy anchor point at chest height. Hold the free end of the band in one hand with an overhand grip, stepping back until there is light tension in the band.

  2. 2
    Setup

    Assume a split stance with the working arm's foot forward and the other foot back, ensuring your front knee is stacked over your ankle and your back heel is lifted. Engage your core and keep your chest upright.

  3. 3

    Explosively push off both feet, switching your leg position in mid-air so the back leg lands forward and the front leg lands back. Simultaneously, pull the resistance band handle towards your rib cage, squeezing your shoulder blade.

  4. 4

    Land softly in the opposite split stance, immediately controlling the band back to the starting arm position. Maintain core stability throughout the movement, then repeat, switching your legs and rowing with the same arm.

Tips

  • Focus on a soft landing during the split jump to protect your joints and maintain balance for the subsequent row.
  • Keep your elbow close to your body as you pull the band, driving it towards your hip to maximize lat activation.
  • Maintain a stable torso throughout the entire movement, resisting any rotational pull from the band to protect your spine.
  • Ensure your front knee stays aligned with your toes during the split jump to prevent inward collapse and maintain proper leg mechanics.

Common Mistakes

  • ×Rounding the back during the row sacrifices back engagement and spinal safety; instead, keep your chest proud and engage your core to maintain a neutral spine.
  • ×Losing balance during the jump compromises stability and power; focus on a controlled, powerful push-off and a soft, stable landing by engaging your glutes and core.
  • ×Using momentum instead of muscle for the row diminishes muscle activation; resist the urge to yank the band, initiating the pull with your back muscles and controlling the eccentric phase.
