How to perform
1
Attach a V-bar or use the machine's close neutral grips. Sit down and secure the knee pads.
2
Grasp the handles with your palms facing each other. Lean back slightly, keeping your back straight.
3
Pull the handles down towards the lower part of your sternum. Focus on driving your elbows down and squeezing your back muscles hard.
4
Hold the contraction for a moment, then slowly return the handles to the top until your arms are fully extended. Do not let the weight stack slam.
