Pro Tip

If the handles you use are uncomfortable, try switching them out for similar ones with a different grip.


How To

  1. Bend forward maintaining a straight torso and grab the cable on either side of you with your opposing hand.
  2. Exhale and raise your arms out and back behind you while keeping them straight and fully extended.
  3. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and continue raising your arms until they reach shoulder level.
  4. Inhale and lower your arms back down, returning to the starting position.

Primary Muscle Groups

Back Shoulder

Outer region of your upper back as well as the back area of your shoulder.

Upper Back

A significant portion of the upper region of your back. It is widest in the middle, forming a diamond shape that connects the middle of your back to both of your shoulder blades and the upper portion of your neck. It is comprised of three regions. Each region has a different function and is trained in different ways.


Secondary Muscle Groups

Lower Back

Center region of your back, spanning from the pelvis to just below the neck. However, parts of it are hidden beneath other muscles. The lower portion is the most visible.


Equipment

Far Pulley Towers

If no other options are available, you can use close pulley towers instead. However this is not preferable.

Single Grip Handles

Some exercises may require you to use only one handle. Pay close attention to the animation to verify the number of handles needed.


Variations

Exercises that target the same primary muscle groups and require the same equipment.
