Instructions
Preparation
- Sit slightly forward on bench or platform. Grasp cable bar
attachment with an elbow width overhand grip. Straighten lower
back upright and slide hips back so knees are slightly bent.
Execution
- Pull cable attachment toward neck, elbows up out to sides
until elbows travel slightly behind back. Keep upper arms horizontal,
perpendicular to trunk. Return until arms are extended and shoulders
are stretched forward. Repeat.
Comments
- Elbow width is determined when elbows are raise at height
of shoulders out to sides. The relatively powerful Latissimus
Dorsi becomes involved:
- if upper arm travels closer than perpendicular to the trunk
- if torso is positioned forward beyond vertical
