How to do it

  1. Anchor a band low behind you, or stand on it, and take the other end in both hands.
  2. Bring the hands overhead with the upper arms beside the ears and the elbows bent, so the band runs up behind the shoulders.
  3. Brace the stomach and keep the ribs down.
  4. Straighten the arms overhead quickly against the band until the elbows are locked.
  5. Lower the forearms behind the head under control and repeat.
  6. Keep the upper arms pointing up throughout; the speed is in the forearms.
