How to perform it

Adjust the cable pulley to a high position and attach a straight bar. Sit facing the cable machine with your feet flat on the ground and your knees slightly bent. Grasp the bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lean back slightly and keep your chest up, maintaining a slight arch in your lower back. Pull the bar down towards your chest, leading with your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly return the bar to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
