Standing with your knees slightly bent. Your have your back straight and incline your torso around at 45°. You take the barbell with a pronated grip and your hands are wider than your shoulder’s width. Your arms relaxed :
-
Inhale, block your breath and squeeze your abs. Pull the barbell to your torso.
-
Returns to the starting position and exhale.
This exercise work latissimus dorsi, teres major, posterior deltoid, arm’s flexor (biceps, brachialis, and brachioradialis).
When your shoulder blades get closer, your rhomboids and trapezius also work.
Incline your torso works your spinal erectors isometrically.
This exercise has several variants like the hand width, pronated or supinated grip or torso inclination allow you to work your back in different angles.
Attention
It’s important to keep your back straight because if you rounded your back during the movement, you risk having injuries.
