What it works

Lats, Biceps

How to do it

  1. 1Kneel or sit at a high cable with one handle.
  2. 2Let the working shoulder rise fully at the top so the lat is stretched, then drive the elbow down toward the hip and let the shoulder blade travel with it.
  3. 3Return slowly to the full stretch.
  4. 4Keep the torso square — twisting to finish the rep is the mistake, and it is also the tell that the weight is too heavy for the side you are testing.
