Tips

Engage your core as if bracing for a punch to maximize stability and protect your lower back throughout the exercise. Keep your shoulders down and back to prevent rounding and ensure proper upper back engagement. Focus on keeping your hips and shoulders square to the front to avoid twisting and target the intended muscles. Resist the pull evenly throughout the movement to avoid compensating with one side, promoting balanced strength. Maintain a tall chest position to encourage proper posture and optimal muscle activation.
