How to do it
- Set a rope on the lowest pulley, face away from the machine and pass the rope between your legs.
- Walk forward until the cable is taut and stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips.
- Push your hips back with a flat back, letting your hands travel between your legs.
- 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.
