How to perform

Adjust the seat so the handle is at shoulder level. Sit with feet firmly planted. Grasp the handle with a neutral grip. Chest pressed against the pad, maintain a straight back. Pull the handle towards your torso, retracting your shoulder blade and bending your elbow. Pause at peak contraction, squeezing your back muscles. Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the movement. Repeat for the desired reps, then switch arms.

Muscles Worked

Latissimus dorsi

Tips

Engage back muscles, not arms. Keep your core tight. Use a slow, controlled tempo. Allow natural shoulder blade movement. Avoid full elbow lockout.
