  2. Grasp the handle of the pulley with an overhand grip, palms facing down.

  4. Engage your core and pull the handle towards your body, leading with your elbows.
  5. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of the movement and hold for a second.

Pulley Lateral Pull Tips

  1. Start with a weight that challenges you but allows for proper form.
  2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and engage your core.
  3. Keep your chest up and shoulders relaxed throughout the movement.
  4. As you pull the handles towards your body, focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  5. Pause for a moment at the end of the movement to fully engage your upper back muscles.
  6. Control the weight as you return to the starting position, resisting the pull of the pulley.
  7. For an extra challenge, try adding a slight twist at the end of the movement to engage your obliques.
