Method:
Set the appropriate weight on the machine and attach a V-Bar handle. Sit down and hold the bar firmly in your palms (not fingers). Keep your back straight and legs slightly bent as you pull towards your stomach. As you pull, exhale and squeeze your shoulder blades together. They should point towards each other as if you were trying to pick up a pen with them. Inhale as you return the bar to the starting position.Why it’s good:
The middle back is very important to general health, it protects your spine and building it up will give you a better posture and the best chance of avoiding injuries.What to watch out for:
