Description

  • Set doors wide, lock bench up and out of the way, adjust swivel pulleys to hand level and set resistance.
  • Stand in staggered stance with body facing perpendicular to swivel pulley, grasp D-handle like a tennis racket, keep slight bend in elbow and draw hand across midline of the body while rotating torso as in a tennis forehand stroke.
  • Reverse swing to starting position and repeat. Then repeat using same arm, mimicking backhand swing.
  • Turn around and mimic forehand and backhand using other hand, although this may feel unnatural.

ProTip

  • Initiate the movement with your hips.

Mistakes

  • Bad posture.
  • Pulling with your arms and not rotating your hips.
