Workout 12: Pull
Exercises
1. Set the cable machine to a height just above your head and attach a rope handle.
2. Stand facing the cable machine and grab the rope with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulderwidth apart.
3. Walk back a few steps until there is tension on the cable, position your feet either hip-width apart or at a staggered stance with one foot in front of the other. Slightly bend your knees.
4. Keeping your chest up and shoulders back, pull the rope towards your face by squeezing your shoulder blades together. Aim to bring your hands to the sides of your face, with your elbows pointing outwards.
5. Slowly release the tension on the cable and return your arms to the starting position. Repeat for desired number of reps.
