How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

01Face the high pulley, hold the rope ends beside your head, and step back into a stable shoulder-width stance.
02Soften your knees, keep your hips mostly fixed, and brace against the cable pull.
03Flex your spine by drawing your ribs toward your pelvis rather than squatting or pulling with your arms.
04Pause with your abdominals shortened while keeping your neck neutral and the rope beside your head.
05Uncurl slowly to a tall position without allowing the stack to pull you forward.
