Instructions
1. Start by setting the cable pulley to a low position and attaching a close grip handle to the cable.
2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, for stability.
3. Grasp the close grip handle with both hands, palms facing each other.
4. Step back from the cable machine until your arms are fully extended in front of you, maintaining a slight forward lean and a straight back to protect your spine.
5. Pull the handle towards your waistline, retracting your shoulder blades and keeping your elbows close to your body.
6. Squeeze your back muscles at the end of the pulling motion.
7. Slowly extend your arms to return to the starting position, controlling the weight throughout the movement.
8. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions. Make sure to focus on maintaining proper form throughout the exercise and avoid using momentum to pull the weight. Adjust the weight stack to a level that is challenging but allows you to perform the exercise with correct technique.
