Bring the other end of the band up to the shoulders and hold it there with both hands.
Pull up slightly on the band so it does not dig into the neck, then brace the trunk.

Stop when the torso is close to parallel, or wherever a neutral spine can still be held.
Drive through the whole foot and extend the hips back to standing without hyperextending at the top.
