How to perform

Attach handles to a low pulley. Stand facing the machine, feet shoulder-width apart, holding a handle in each hand. Step back to create tension, arms straight. Engage your core, slight knee bend. Raise arms diagonally outward to shoulder height, forming a ‘Y’ shape. Squeeze shoulder blades at the top. Slowly lower with control.

Tips

Engage your core for stability. Avoid momentum; focus on controlled movements. Keep shoulders relaxed, avoid shrugging. Maintain a slight elbow bend. Exhale during the lift, inhale on the descent. Start with lighter weights to ensure proper form.
