Form tips
Avoid rushing through the movement. The key to getting the most out of this exercise is to perform it slowly and with control. When you pull the cable towards you, make sure to squeeze your shoulder blades together and hold for a second before slowly releasing back to the starting position. This will ensure maximum muscle engagement and prevent any unnecessary strain.
Your palms should start facing down at the beginning of the movement and rotate to face each other as you pull the cable towards you. This rotation is key to engaging the right muscles and getting the most out of the exercise.
