Starting position

How to perform it

Start the pull by driving the elbows in the direction required by the exercise and let the shoulder blades move naturally. Return slowly without suddenly releasing the tension. Prioritize control over speed. Maintain useful tension through the range and deliberately reset the starting position before the next repetition.

Tips

Do not turn the final repetitions into fast or partial movements. Aim to load chest, biceps, lower back and middle and lower trapezius without sacrificing position; at advanced level, progress control first and then add load, repetitions or complexity. Keep resistance continuous and avoid letting the cable or band suddenly go slack.
