About

How to properly perform the exercise: pulling the cable up to the chin on the pulley?

The movement is performed by:

  • shoulder and upper back muscles

Additionally, they work:

  • abdominal and back muscles (stabilize the figure)

Starting position: Stand facing the lower lift. Grasp the double rope attached to the pulley cable with both hands with an overhand grip. Kneel on one knee. Torso straight. Place your arms in front of your body on the extension of the cable, with your elbows straight. Pull your shoulder blades back and pull your belly in.

Movement flow: Keeping your torso still, bend and raise your elbows sideways to pull the rope towards your chin. Straighten your elbows to the starting position. Repeat.

Tip: Straight back, tummy tucked in. Hands in a grip. The knee of the front leg over the foot. The torso remains still. Keep your elbows wide and high.

To perform this exercise you will need a pulley.

Attention! If you have problems with shoulder joints, give up this exercise.
