Grab the bar with an overhand grip, your hands shoulder-width apart or slightly wider, and sit back on the bench with your knees slightly bent and your feet firmly on the ground.
Lean forward from your hips, keeping your back straight, and pull the bar towards your waist while keeping your elbows tucked in and close to your body.
Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of the movement, hold for a second, then slowly return to the starting position, allowing your arms to fully extend and your shoulder blades to spread apart.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements:** Avoid using momentum to pull the cable towards you. Instead, focus on using your muscles to control the movement both when you pull the cable towards you and when you return to the starting position. Jerky movements can strain your muscles and joints. **Correct Grip:** Ensure you have a firm, wide grip on the handle. A common mistake is gripping the handle too tightly or too loosely. A grip that's too tight can lead to wrist strain, while a grip that's too loose may cause the handle to slip, leading to potential injury. **Mindful Breathing:** Remember to breathe correctly. Exhale
