Description

  • Adjust swivel pulley to lowest position, attach handle and set resistance.
  • Stand facing pulley in a staggered stance and grasp the handle with both hands so it is in a vertical position and hold it on your chest.
  • Start by bending at the waist to approximately a 45 degree angle.
  • Slowly straighten upper body upward until you are standing straight upward bending only at the waist. Do not extend beyond this upright position. Keep your back straight throughout the movement.
  • Slowly return to start position and repeat.

ProTip

  • Engage your core throughout the entire movement.

Mistakes

  • Excessively leaning forward.
  • Allowing the back to "round".
