How to do it

  1. Set a rope on the lowest pulley, face away from the machine and pass the rope between your legs.
  2. Walk forward until the cable is taut and stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips.
  3. Push your hips back with a flat back, letting your hands travel between your legs.
  4. Snap your hips forward and squeeze your glutes to stand tall, keeping your arms relaxed.

Coaching cues

  • Your arms are just hooks, the hips do all the work.
  • Finish standing tall with your ribs down rather than leaning back.
