Targets: Upper trap, Side delt

About

This power move hits your shoulders, upper traps, and upper back all at once.

How to Smith Machine High Pull

Starting Position

1. Place the barbell in front of your thighs and grip it with an overhand grip.

2. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, slightly bend your knees, and keep your upper body straight.

Proper Form

1. Use the strength of your shoulders, arms, and lower body to pull the bar close to your body.

2. Raise it to chest-collarbone height, making sure your elbows are higher than your hands.

3. Slowly lower it back to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you lift the bar, and inhale when you lower it.

Precautions

1. Do not arch your back or round your back; keep your core tight.

2. Do not pull as if diving with too heavy a weight; maintain an upright upper body position.
