Instructions for Proper Form
Setup:
- Cable Machine: Set the cable pulley to the lowest position.
- Attachment: Attach a V-bar, rope handle, or straight bar to the low pulley.
- Seated Position: Sit on the bench or floor facing the machine. Adjust the seat height if needed, so the cable is slightly above knee level.
- Grip: Grasp the attachment with an overhand or underhand grip, depending on your preference.
- Body Position: Lean forward slightly, keeping your back straight, chest up, and core engaged.
The Lift:
- Initiate the Pull: Pull the attachment towards your lower abdomen while squeezing your shoulder blades together. Keep your elbows close to your body and your back straight.
- Squeeze and Hold: Pause briefly at the end of the pull, feeling the contraction in your back muscles.
- Controlled Return: Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position, resisting the pull of the cable.
Tips:
- Elbow Position: Keep your elbows close to your body as you pull the attachment.
- Focus on the Back: Think about using your back muscles to lift the weight, not just your arms.
- Variation: You can try different attachments and grips to target different areas of your back.
