Instructions
1. Begin by adjusting the cable machine so that the pulleys are set at about shoulder height.
2. Attach a rope handle to the cable machine and select the appropriate weight on the stack.
3. Sit down on the bench facing the cable machine and plant your feet firmly against the footplate.
4. With a neutral grip, grab each end of the rope with your hands and lean slightly forward, maintaining a straight spine.
5. Pull the rope towards you, keeping your elbows out to the sides and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
6. Focus on retracting your shoulder blades and using your rear deltoids to perform the movement.
7. Slowly return the handle to the starting position, controlling the weight and resisting the pull of the cable.
8. Complete the desired number of repetitions, maintaining good form throughout.
Ensure you engage your core throughout the exercise for stability and to aid in protecting your lower back. Adjust the weight accordingly to maintain proper form while still challenging the muscle groups targeted.
