Coach's Tips

This exercise focuses on the posterior part of the shoulder. You'll notice the continuous engagement from the cable workout!

Start Position

1. Stand facing the cable machine and choose a lightweight setting.

2. Attach a D-handle to the cable pulley and grip it with both hands.

3. Move away from the machine, extending your arms with a slight bend at the elbows.

4. Maintain a straight posture, with shoulders pulled back and chest elevated during the exercise.

Proper Form

1. Begin by gently bringing the handles in front of your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.

2. Pause briefly at the peak of the contraction before returning to the starting point.

3. Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe out as you draw the handles together and inhale as you return to the starting stance.

Precautions

1. Engage core muscles to prevent back arching.

2. Avoid using swinging motions to complete the repetitions.

3. Keep a slight bend in your elbows and don't lock them during the movement.

4. Ensure your chest remains elevated and shoulders are retracted.
