How to perform

Attach a bar to a high pulley cable. 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 towards your thighs, maintaining straight arms. Squeeze your lats during the pull. Slowly return to the starting position with control.

Tips

Engage your core for stability. Focus on lat activation, avoiding bicep involvement. Maintain a slight elbow bend. Use a controlled motion, avoiding momentum. Adjust weight for proper form. Keep shoulders relaxed.
