Starting Position

Sit facing the lever machine with your feet flat on the floor, knees slightly bent, and grasp the handles with an underhand grip.

Technical Execution

Pull the handles towards your lower chest region while squeezing the shoulder blades together, then slowly return to the starting position.

Range of Motion

Maintain a full range of motion by fully extending the arms at the bottom and pulling until the handles touch the lower chest at the top.

Variations

Variations include using different grip widths, changing the angle of the body, or performing the exercise unilaterally.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include improper grip placement, using too much momentum, and not engaging the back muscles effectively.

Practical Advice
