How to do it

  1. Attach a straight bar to the low pulley and sit with your feet on the platform, knees slightly bent.
  2. Grab the bar underhand, palms up, at about shoulder width, and sit tall with your arms straight and back neutral.
  3. Row the bar to your lower stomach, driving your elbows back close to your sides.
  4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together, then extend your arms slowly and let your shoulders reach forward for a stretch.
  5. Keep your torso still and upright; pull with your elbows instead of curling the bar or leaning back.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
