- Slowly lower your body back to the starting position with control, fully extending your arms.
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form throughout the exercise.
Keep in mind
- Keep your elbows close to your body and avoid flaring them out.
- Use an appropriate level of assistance on the machine to ensure you can perform the exercise correctly.
- Exhale as you pull your body upward and inhale as you lower it back down.
