Body position
Sit at the end of the weight bench with your back facing the cable pulley. Ensure your feet are firmly planted on the ground. The cable is attached to the upper block of the cable pulley, and you hold the cable directly behind your head. Keep your gaze forward, and in the starting position, maintain an upright posture.
