Attach a wide grip handle to a cable stack and assume a standing position. Grasp the handle with a pronated grip (double overhand) at roughly shoulder width and lean forward slightly by hinging at the hips. Keep the elbow slightly flexed and initiate the movement by depressing the shoulder blades and extending the shoulders. Pull the bar to your thigh until the lats are fully contracted and then slowly lower under control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Keep abs tight to avoid arching. Use a false grip if biceps take over. Avoid jutting head forward. Let shoulder blades move naturally, don’t lock them. To engage lats: drive elbows back or imagine squeezing oranges in armpits.
