Instructions
Preparation
- Sit slightly forward on bench or platform and grasp cable attachment. Slide hips back positioning knees with slight bend bend. Allow weight on cable to pull torso forward while stretching arms and shoulders upward.
Execution
- Pull cable attachment to waist and lean back slightly. Pull shoulders back and push chest forward while arching back. Return until torso, arms, and shoulders pulled forward. Repeat.
Comments
- It is optional to bend lower back forward during stretch and pull it upright during contraction. If low back is kept still, Erector Spinae acts as synergist muscle.
