1. Set up the cable machine: Pulleys positioned above head height.
2. Choose the appropriate weight on each side of the cable machine.
3. Stand midway between both pulleys with your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.
4. Grasp the left cable handle with your right hand and the right cable handle with your left hand. Your arms should be extended out to the sides at shoulder level, and palms should be facing down.
5. Lean forward slightly at the waist, keeping your back straight and your chest up.
6. Pull the handles down towards your thighs by contracting your lats and pulling your elbows towards your sides.
7. Continue pulling the handles down until your hands are at the sides of your thighs.
8. Pause briefly at the bottom of the motion, squeezing your lats.
9. Slowly return the handles to the starting position with control, allowing your lats to fully stretch.
10. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure you maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury and to target the intended muscle groups effectively. Adjust the weight as needed to perform the exercise with a full range of motion.
