Single-Arm Band Row: Portable Back Strength & Shoulder Stability Exercise for Golfers

A versatile, low-impact row to build back strength and protect shoulders. Perfect as a warm-up or travel-friendly option for golfers to maintain swing stability.

Key Points

  • Setup: Attach the band below knee level to target the right back muscles. Stand in a hinged position with knees slightly bent and back flat.

     

  • Execution: Pull elbow close to your ribs, controlling both the pull and return. This protects the shoulder joint and activates your lats properly.

     

  • Why Bands: Lightweight, cost-effective, and ultra-versatile—you can use them anywhere (locker room, gym, hotel, or even a tree in the park).

     

  • Reps: Aim for 12 reps per side. Stop early if your back starts to round—form over volume.

     

  • Bonus Use: Excellent pre- and post-round warmup to help prevent shoulder or lower back injuries and keep you playing longer.

  • Purpose: A banded row is a great regression from the single-arm dumbbell row—ideal for golfers who want joint-friendly, portable training.

     

  • Adjustability: Step closer for less resistance, further for more. Easy to scale intensity up or down on the fly.
