Starting Position: Attach the ends of the straight bar to each cable pully at chest height. Grip the bar with the palms facing down OR up and the arms extended in front of the chest in a quarter squat position.
Procedure: Pull the bar to the chest line. Reverse the movement pattern back to the starting position. Repeat for the prescribed repetitions.
Coaching Key: Keep your torso and hips engaged. 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, to a lesser extent, lower body.
