How to perform

Attach a bar to a low pulley. 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 extended. Lean forward slightly, maintaining a neutral spine. Pull the bar to your abdomen, driving elbows back and down, squeezing shoulder blades. Pause at peak contraction, elbows close to your body. Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the weight. Repeat.

Tips

Squeeze shoulder blades at peak contraction. Engage your core for stability. Avoid momentum; control each rep. Keep elbows close to your body. Adjust weight for proper form.
