Assume athletic stance, with lower back in “C” position, facing Crossover Symmetry band hook up
Hold handles in front with straight arms so bands cross over each other
Keeping arms straight, quickly bring them back and to high position [overhead in “V”]; return to start position
Repeat to middle position [shoulder-level] and low position [pointing down in “V”]
Repeat sequence for specified reps
Variation: If Crossover Symmetry equipment is not available, attach small bands to squat rack
Reps: 1x9, 1x13, 1x16
Benefits: Posterior delt and core stabilizer strength, defensive ability
Hess: It’s important that you do this quickly and stay stable with a good “C” position in your back. This strengthens the posterior delts, but we do it in a standing stabilizing position so we can work on AI’s defense as well.
