How to perform

Attach a handle to the high pulley. Stand facing the machine, feet shoulder-width apart. Grasp the handle with a palms-down grip, creating tension. Slightly bend forward at the hips, keeping your back straight. Pull the handle down towards your hip, keeping your arm straight and squeezing your shoulder blade. Pause briefly, then slowly return to the start. Repeat on the other arm.

Tips

Maintain a slight bend in your knees. Engage your core. Focus on back muscle engagement, avoiding torso rotation. Control the movement throughout.
