Instructions

Setup

  • Attach a double rope to the high pulley of a cable machine.

  • Kneel on both knees facing the machine at a distance that allows full arm extension with slight tension on the cable.

Movement

  • Start with arms fully extended forward at shoulder height, grasping the rope handles.

  • Maintain a slight bend in your elbows and keep your core tightly braced.

  • Initiate the movement by depressing your shoulder blades and driving your arms down in an arc-like motion toward your glutes.

  • Focus on contracting your latissimus dorsi throughout the motion; avoid using momentum.

  • Slowly return your arms to the starting position under control, allowing for a deep stretch in the lats at the top of the movement.
