How to perform it

  1. 01 Sit at the machine, place your feet on the platform and take the handle with your arms extended.
  2. 02 Sit tall with a small natural arch in your lower back and your knees slightly bent.
  3. 03 Brace your core, then pull the handle to your lower ribs by driving your elbows straight back.
  4. 04 Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of the pull and hold briefly.
  5. 05 Extend your arms under control, letting your shoulder blades travel forward without rounding your lower back.
  6. 06 Keep your torso still — do not rock back and forth to move the weight.
