How to perform

Attach a bar to a high pulley. Stand facing the machine, feet shoulder-width apart. Grip the bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width. Step back to create tension, arms straight, elbows slightly bent. Engage your core and pull the bar down in an arc to your thighs. Keep arms straight, return to start slowly.

Tips

Slightly bend knees for stability. Squeeze lats during pull. Avoid momentum; control the movement. Keep shoulders down and back. Engage your core. Maintain a slight bend in elbows. Exhale on pull, inhale on return.
