Dual Cable Pulldown, Reciprocating - Kneeling

Description

Starting Position: Attach a handle to a cable pulley at head height. Hold the handle with your arm extended overhead while kneeling on both knees.

Procedure: Keep your torso stable, shoulders pull back and down, and pull one hand to the front of the shoulder. Return to the start position while simultaneously pulling the opposite hand to the shoulder. Repeat the piston-like motion for the prescribed repetitions. 

Coaching Key: Initiate the movement by sliding your shoulder blades back and down, then drive your elbows toward the floor. Hand positioning will modify the primary muscles being worked.

Feel it: Working your back, shoulders, and arms.
