How to perform
1
Sit down and adjust the knee pads so they are snug against your thighs. Take a wide, overhand grip on the bar, hands wider than your shoulders.
2
Keep your chest up and your back straight. Pull the bar down in a controlled manner towards your upper chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the end of the pull.
3
Pause for a moment at the bottom when the bar is almost touching your chest.
4
Slowly and controllably return the bar to the starting position, feeling the stretch in your lats. Repeat.
