Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Grasp the bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart, and step back a few feet to create tension on the cable.
Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees slightly, and lean forward from your hips, keeping your back straight.
Pull the bar towards your chest, keeping your elbows high and parallel to the floor, and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Slowly return the bar to the starting position, maintaining control of the movement, and repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Control Your Movement: Avoid the temptation to use momentum or to perform the exercise too quickly. Each movement should be slow and controlled, focusing on the muscle contraction and not on the weights you're lifting. Jerky movements can lead to injuries and won't effectively target the intended muscles. Position of the Elbows: Your elbows should be slightly higher than your shoulders when you pull the cable towards you. This position will ensure that you are targeting the rear deltoids effectively. If your elbows are too low, you might end up working your lats instead. Keep your Core Engaged: This exercise is not just about your shoulders; it's a full-body exercise. Engage your core throughout the movement
