Suspension Trainer Horizontal Pull Tips

  1. Start with a shoulder-width grip on the handles to engage your upper back muscles effectively.
  2. Keep your body straight and core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain proper form and maximize results.
  3. Focus on pulling your shoulder blades together as you pull your body towards the anchor point, emphasizing the upper back muscles.
  4. Control the movement and avoid using momentum to ensure you’re targeting the right muscles and reducing the risk of injury.
  5. Experiment with different foot positions to find the one that allows you to maintain stability and engage your upper back muscles the most.
  6. Take a brief pause at the top of the movement, squeezing your shoulder blades together, to enhance muscle activation and build strength.
  7. Gradually increase the difficulty by adjusting the angle of your body or adding resistance, such as a weighted vest, as you progress in strength and form.
