Instructions
Preparation
- Sit slightly forward on bench or platform. Grasp a stirrup cable attachment with one hand. Straighten lower back upright and slide hips back so knees are slightly bent.
Execution
- Pull stirrup out to side, elbows up shoulder height until elbows travel slightly behind back. Allow wrist to follow elbow. Keep upper arm horizontal, perpendicular to trunk. Return until arm is extended and shoulder is stretched forward. Repeat.
Comments
- The relatively powerful Latissimus Dorsi becomes involved:
- if upper arm travels closer than perpendicular to the trunk
- if torso is positioned forward beyond vertical
