How to perform

  1. 1

    Load the pins to an appropriate weight. Position yourself directly between the handles.

  2. 2

    Grasp the top handles with a comfortable grip, and then lower your hips as you take a breath. Look forward with your head and keep your chest up.

  3. 3

    Drive through the floor with your heels, extending your hips and knees as you rise to a standing position. Keep your arms straight throughout the movement, finishing with your shoulders back. This will be your starting position.

  4. 4

    Raise the weight by shrugging the shoulders towards your ears, moving straight up and down.

  5. 5

    Pause at the top of the motion, and then return the weight to the starting position.

Important tips

  • Initiate every pull from your shoulder blades, not your hands.

  • Keep your torso still — no swinging for extra reps.

  • Pause briefly at full contraction before returning.
