Equipment
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, slightly bend your knees and bend forward at your waist so your torso is almost parallel to the floor.
Grab the handle with the hand opposite to the cable machine, palm facing down and arm fully extended towards the floor.
Keeping your arm slightly bent, pull the handle up and out to your side until it's at shoulder height, focusing on squeezing your shoulder blade.
Lower the handle back to the starting position in a controlled manner, completing one repetition. Remember to perform the exercise with both arms for a balanced workout.
Pro Tip
Maintain Good Posture: Bend slightly at the hips and keep your back straight. This posture is crucial to target the right muscles and to prevent any lower back injuries. A common mistake is rounding the back which can lead to injury and less effective workouts. Controlled Movement: Pull the cable out to your side until your arm is parallel with the floor. Make sure to perform this movement in a slow, controlled manner. Avoid jerky or swift movements as they can lead to muscle strain or injury. Keep Your Arm Straight: Your arm should be straight but not locked at the elbow. This will ensure the tension is placed on the correct muscles. A common mistake is to bend the elbow, which can shift the focus away
