Instructions

  1. Attach a rope to a high cable pulley and hold the ends with an overhand grip.

  2. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and hinge forward slightly from your hips.

  3. Keep your arms nearly straight with a soft bend in your elbows and brace your core.

  4. Pull the rope down and back toward your hips in a sweeping arc until your hands reach your thighs.

  5. Pause for a brief moment at the bottom, squeezing your lats tightly.

  6. Slowly return the rope back to the starting position with control, letting your arms rise until they are fully extended overhead.
