How to do it

  1. Attach two single-handle attachments to a low cable pulley and grip them with palms facing each other.
  2. Step back until the cables have full tension and stand tall with a slight knee bend and braced trunk.
  3. Pull both handles toward your ribs while rotating your wrists so your palms finish facing up at the top.
  4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of the pull, feeling the lats and biceps light up.
  5. Pause briefly with the elbows behind your torso, then begin reversing under control.
  6. Rotate the palms back to neutral as your arms straighten, fighting the cable the whole way out.

Common mistakes

  • Skipping the wrist rotation and rowing with a fixed grip, which loses the extra biceps and lat finish.
  • Leaning back to use bodyweight instead of pulling cleanly with the back muscles.
  • Letting the elbows drift wide so the rear delts take over and the lats stop working.
  • Snapping back to the start position and skipping the slow return where most growth tension lives.
