How to do it
5 stepsSet an incline bench near a high cable pulley with a straight bar attached. Lie back facing the stack.
Hold the bar with an overhand grip at shoulder width and extend your arms forward, with the bar a few inches above your upper thighs.
Keep your shoulders still, inhale, and sweep the bar back in a half-circle until it is directly above your head.
Exhale and use your back muscles to bring the bar slowly back to the starting position.
Squeeze your lats at the end, then repeat for the planned reps.
Keep your arms nearly straight the whole time, otherwise this turns into a triceps movement. Lighten the stack if your elbows bend.
A V-bar or rope handle can replace the straight bar.
Work one arm at a time with a single handle to even out the sides.
