Starting Position: Attach a handle to each side of a high pully on a cable machine. Kneeling tall, both knees on a pad, hold the right handle with the left arm and the left handle with the right arm so that you are making an "X" at the wrist, with your palms facing away.
Procedure: Keep your torso stable, shoulders back and down, and pull the handles to the front of the outside of the shoulders. 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.
