The low pulley rope pull should be done in a seated position towards the abs.
How do I perform the exercise?
The feet on the support, and the knees wedged against the foam. (Some machines do not have this option). The position is similar to that of the rowing machine.
Only the arms will pull the rope and solicit the back. The elbows must be at 90 degrees and remain close to the chest when pulling. Shoulders back and chest up. During the execution, the two ends of the rope should start to move apart as the exercise progresses.
CAUTION: The chest should not go backwards in an exaggerated way, the speed must be controlled when you make the pull down pulley.
Tips
- During the execution, the back must remain straight.
- The chest should remain at right angles, or slightly backwards.
- You should exhale during the effort and inhale when you return to your starting position.
- If the execution changes trajectory and pulls towards the chest, the trapezius and deltoid muscles can be used more.
Variant
- By changing accessories, we can change the angles of work and therefore the muscles worked (wide bar, tight, wrists ...).
