How to do it
- Attach two single-handle attachments to a low cable pulley and grip them with palms facing each other.
- Step back until the cables have full tension and stand tall with a slight knee bend and braced trunk.
- Pull both handles toward your ribs while rotating your wrists so your palms finish facing up at the top.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of the pull, feeling the lats and biceps light up.
- Pause briefly with the elbows behind your torso, then begin reversing under control.
- 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.
