Start phase

Keep both feet and your chest supported as you draw your elbows back.

STEP 3

End phase

Briefly squeeze your back at the end of the pull, then return by slowly extending your arms.

STEP 4

Target muscles

This movement primarily works your lats, trapezius. Focus on controlling the motion through these muscles.
