Starting Position:
- Adjust yourself in the machine as per the instructions.
- Reach for the handles and sit back until your hips and knees form a 90-degree angle.
Movement:
- Contracting the upper back muscles, draw your arms back, leading with your elbows and keeping your chest lifted, stopping when you get a full contraction of the upper back muscles.
- Slowly return to the starting position, stopping just short of your arms fully extending and just short of the weight stack touching.
Key Points:
Exhale while lifting the weight.
Inhale while returning to the starting position.
Try to maintain a neutral spine throughout the entire range of motion and keep the shoulder blades squeezed together.
Do not round the upper back or let the chest cave in.
