The Best 100 Rep Exercise – Want healthier shoulders, better posture, and a bigger bench press? Do band pull-aparts. In a world of constant sitting and looking at computer screens, many fall victim to protracted shoulders and slouching. You’re probably slouching right now as you’re reading this. A simple solution: Accumulate 100 band pull-aparts throughout the day. Do it 4-6 days per week.

Here are four practical and effective variations:
.
1. Band Pull-Apart, Thumbs In: You’ll definitely feel these in the rear delts and upper back. Sets of 20-30 reps work perfectly.
.
2. Band Pull-Apart, Thumbs Out: This variation targets a bit more deltoid/rotator cuff while also bringing in the biceps/brachialis. Again, sets of 20 work well.
.
3. 3D Band Pull-Apart: Never has a mini-band been more humbling! This variation provides a great 1-2 punch for the front delts and upper back/rear delts and can easily serve as a stand-alone exercise when training shoulders.
.
4. Sword Draws: This single-arm variation strengthens the upper back/rotator cuff muscles and adds some variety. Sets of 15-20 reps each arm should do the trick.
