Pulley Climber Instructions

  1. Stand facing the pulley machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Grab the handles with an overhand grip and extend your arms straight in front of you.
  3. Engage your core and pull the handles down towards your sides, bending your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  4. Pause for a moment, then slowly release the handles and return to the starting position with your arms fully extended.
  5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Pulley Climber Tips

  1. Start by setting the pulley at shoulder height, ensuring a comfortable stance.
  2. Engage your lats by keeping your shoulders down and back throughout the exercise.
  3. Focus on pulling the handles down towards your thighs, using your triceps to initiate the movement.
  4. Keep your elbows close to your body, squeezing your triceps at the bottom of the movement.
  5. Control the weight as you slowly release the handles back up, feeling the stretch in your lats.
  6. Remember to breathe steadily and avoid using momentum to complete the exercise.
  7. For a challenge, try using different grip variations like underhand or neutral grip to target your muscles differently.
