Step-by-step
- Attach a straight bar or rope to a high pulley and stand hinged slightly forward at the hips.
- Keep your arms almost fully straight, with a slight bend but without locking the elbows.
- Bring the bar down toward your thighs in a wide arc, initiating the movement from your back muscles.
- Pause briefly at the bottom and squeeze your lats.
- Return to the starting position under control.
Coaching tip
Keep your arms straight, bring the bar down toward your hips, and feel your lats.
