Instructions

  1. Setup:

    • Attach a single handle to the high pulley of the cable machine.

    • Adjust the weight on the machine according to your fitness level.

  2. Positioning:

    • Sit on a bench or a seat facing the cable machine.

    • Place your feet firmly on the ground, shoulder-width apart.

    • Grasp the handle with one hand. Your palm should be facing you.

  3. Body Position:

    • Lean slightly forward from your hips while keeping your back straight.

    • Your other arm can rest on your thigh or the bench for support.

  4. Movement:

    • Pull the handle down towards your torso, bending your elbow and keeping it close to your body.

    • As you pull, rotate your wrist so your palm faces inward (toward your body) at the end of the movement.

    • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blade towards your spine during the pull.

  5. Return:

    • Slowly extend your arm back to the starting position, ensuring you maintain control of the weight.

    • Do not let the weight stack touch down completely at the bottom to keep tension on the muscle.

  6. Repetitions:

    • Perform 10-15 repetitions on one arm before switching to the other arm.

    • Complete 2-3 sets on each arm.

  7. Tips:

    • Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to stabilize your body.

    • Avoid using momentum; the movement should be slow and controlled to maximize effectiveness.

    • Focus on the muscles in your back, especially the lats, throughout the exercise.
