Coach's Tips

This pulling exercise works your side delts and traps.

1. Grab the EZ bar with an overhand grip at shoulder width and place it in front of your thighs.

2. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and your upper body straight.

1. Pull the bar close to your body while flaring your elbows out to the sides.

2. Raise it to the height of your chest center to just above your sternum.

3. Slowly lower it back to the starting position.

Exhale when you lift the bar, and inhale when you lower it.

1. If you raise it excessively up to just below your chin, it puts a strain on your shoulders. Raise it only to chest height.

2. Keep the bar close to your body to prevent your wrists from bending.
