โข Adjust the cable height to face level โข Grip: Hold the end of the rope with palms facing each other โข Position preparation: Chest out, core tight, slightly lean back to maintain tension โข When pulling: Elbows should be above shoulder level, pulling the ends of the rope out to the sides until they reach ear level โข Important: Lead with the elbows, focus on external rotation of the shoulders and stimulating the rear deltoids โข Return: Control slowly, maintain a retracted scapula position โข Repetitions: 12-15 times, use light weight โ feel it in the rear deltoids & lower trapezius
The width should be slightly wider than the shoulders. The arms should be lowered about 15 degrees from the armpit (the optimal angle when the width is lowered). Keep the shoulders fixed, and don't obsess over the scapula. Lower and raise only to the depth where you can feel the contraction and relaxation of the chest. It should feel like only the elbows are straightening.
Every time I raise my arm, someone pinches me from behind.
Does this count as exercise?
My back hurts.

I was holding in my poop while doing this and I pushed too hard and ended up farting. I'm really embarrassed and I won't do this again. I was about to go to the bathroom after finishing, but... I'm holding it in because I'm afraid people will think I pooped my pants.
Is 70-80 degrees too much? Are you saying to lean forward while sitting? Don't lie back.
If you have rounded shoulders, make sure to stretch before doing it!! I didn't do it properly before, so my elbows hurt and I couldn't stretch all the way, but after stretching, my elbows don't hurt, my breathing is good, and I can contract all the way!!
Instead of a cable, and not just a 1-jaw, a parallel grip is good, but using a chin-up mag grip is really tasty.
7 plates each side is work shesh lol
My head is a little dizzy..
Why did you put this machine in the gym...?
350lbs wooooh!!!!
I'm trying to pull with my scapula, but if I go over 10, my trapezius gets tight.
Please do not overdo it; this is an exercise that is easy to get injured from.
Why is there more stimulation in the front shoulder?
