Starting Position: Attach the ends of a straight bar to each cable pulley at head height. Hold the bar with your hands slightly outside the shoulders with arms extended overhead, push the hips back, and bend your knees slightly to lower the torso toward the ground.
Procedure: Keep your torso stable, shoulders back and down, and pull the bar to the front of the upper chest. Return to the start position. Continue for the prescribed repetitions.
Coaching Key: Initiate the movement by sliding your shoulder blades back and down, then drive your elbows toward the rib cage. Hand positioning will modify the primary muscles being worked.
Feel it: Working your back, shoulders, and arms.
