What goes wrong most often when you do the Loop Band Lat Pulldown, and how to fix it.

The band is anchored low and pulls forward instead of from above.
Anchor the band high, above your head, and kneel or sit below the anchor point.
The band has no tension at the top and the rep starts slack.
Move away from the anchor or lower your body until the band is taut with your arms straight.
On the way back up, the band yanks your arms up and your shoulders shrug.
Control the way up slowly and keep your shoulders down until your arms are straight.
