Starting Position

1. Sit on the machine seat and place your feet on the footrest.

3. Grab the handles with both hands or one hand at a time and extend your arms forward to start.

Proper Form

1. Pull one or both elbows back while drawing the handle towards your body.

2. Squeeze your shoulder blades together, contracting your latissimus dorsi and back muscles.
