How to do it

  1. Set up. Sit facing the low pulley with feet supported and knees slightly bent. Hold the handle and keep your back neutral.
  2. Move. Pull the handle towards your lower ribs, moving the elbows back without swinging your trunk.
  3. Finish. Let your arms reach forwards slowly while your body stays still. Don’t let the weight yank you forwards.
