Start in a split stance. Place the exercise band under the front foot and hold the ends of the band in each hand. Place the upper arms beside the body and bend your elbows to 90 degrees. Make sure there is slight tension on the band before you start. Now bring your hands up, pulling against the band. Make sure you avoid shrugging your shoulders. You can either keep your thumbs facing up or you can turn your hands inwards slightly as you pull up. Try to end with your hands slightly above shoulder level. Slowly return to the start position. Repeat the exercise 10 - 12 times, rest, then repeat the exercise sequence as desired.

This exercise is an isolation movement for the anterior delt. of the shoulder. It is a great exercise but it doesn't do much or anything for the back. Certainly not directly, anyway. Your tres major/minor and lats may help stabilize and keep the motion smooth but they're not directly worked.
