How to do it
- Attach a rope to a high pulley, kneel facing the machine and hold the rope ends beside your head.
- Hinge slightly forward at the hips so the weight lifts off the stack.
- Exhale and round your torso down, bringing your elbows toward your thighs, then return slowly.
- Keep your hips still and don't pull the rope down with your arms; rounding your spine should move the weight.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
