How to perform
1
Change the handle to a wide bar. Sit on the bench and take an overhand grip on the bar, slightly wider than your shoulders.
2
Keep your torso stable and your back straight. Avoid using momentum or swinging your body.
3
Pull the bar towards your lower chest or upper abdomen. Focus on driving your elbows back and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
4
Pause briefly at the peak of the contraction, then slowly and controllably return the bar to the starting position.
