Starting Position: Attach a handle to a waist-high cable pully. Hold the handle with one hand and the arm extended at shoulder height when facing the cable, standing with feet together.
Procedure: Step backward with one leg and bend both knees. Push through the hips to stand tall as you pull the handle toward the outside of the rib cage. Reverse the movement pattern back to the starting position. Complete the set on one side before repeating on the other side.
Coaching Key: Keep your torso and hips engaged to avoid excessive rotation. Initiate the movement by pulling your shoulder blade "down and back," like putting it in your back pocket. Hand positioning will modify the muscles being worked.
Feel it: Working your back, shoulders, torso, and lower body.
