Instructions:
- 1Stand in front of the cable machine and grab the high pulley attachments
- 2Pull back the attachments until your hands are next to your chest, maintaining a slight bend in your knees
- 3Hold for a second at full contraction, squeezing your back muscles
- 4Slowly return to the starting position, extending your arms fully
- 5Try to keep your back straight throughout the course of the exercise
Tips:
- Focus on pulling your elbows back rather than pulling with your hands to better engage your back muscles
- Avoid leaning back during the pull; stay upright to reduce risk of injury
- Exhale when pulling the attachments to your chest and inhale when returning to the starting position
- Try to keep your body still and avoid swinging during the exercise to maximize effectiveness
