MOVEMENT

Bring your shoulder blades together as you pull your elbows back and your hands toward your torso (B). HARD

Pause with your hands just above your navel, your chest forward and your shoulders drawn back and down.

Keeping your shoulders back and down, allow your arms to extend and return to the starting position (A). EASY

Why It’s Perfect for You

Similar to the Reverse Grip Pull-down, this movement strengthens your back without creating width between your shoulders. By actively pushing your shoulders down throughout the movement, you get functional core strength as well. It also makes your upper back look awesome!
