How to perform

Attach a rope handle to a high pulley cable. Sit facing the machine, feet flat. Hold the rope handles behind your head or at shoulder level. Engage your core, lean slightly forward to create tension. Exhale, contract abs, and pull your torso down, elbows towards your knees. Pause briefly at the bottom. Inhale, slowly return to the starting position, maintaining core tension.

Tips

Maintain a straight back; avoid momentum. Focus on abdominal engagement, not arm pulling. Control movement speed. Ensure a comfortable range of motion. Adjust weight for 10-15 repetitions per set.
