Muscle outlines from Body Muscles by Ivan Vulović, Apache 2.0 — regrouped and recoloured for Muscle Train.
Retract scapulae, drive elbows down, and pull your torso vertically until your chest reaches handle height. Squeeze your back muscles at the top, then lower slowly to full arm extension. Use legs for assistance as needed.
To ensure proper form and maximize back engagement, actively drive your elbows downwards throughout the entire movement, focusing on a controlled pulling motion. Aim to pull your chest towards the handles, creating a sense of reaching forward and engaging your back muscles fully. Consciously keep your shoulders away from your ears to prevent upper trap dominance and maintain a stable shoulder position. Engage your core muscles throughout the exercise to stabilize your spine and transfer power efficiently from your lower body.
