Instruction
- Adjust the thigh pad to an appropriate height, grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width, and sit down on the seat.
- Secure your thighs firmly under the pad, open your chest, and prepare with your torso leaned back only slightly.
- Exhale as you pull the bar down toward the front of your chest (just below the collarbone).
- Focus on pulling the bar using your back muscles (latissimus dorsi), not your arms, by driving your elbows downward.
- Pause briefly at the point of maximum lat contraction, then inhale as you slowly extend your arms and return to the starting position, feeling the stretch in your lats.
