Cable Pullover

Technique

How to perform Cable Pullover

1. Stand in front of the cable machine with the straight bar attachment.
2. Reach up and place your hands on the bar.
3. Both palms should be pressing against the bar, slightly bend at the hips, and keep your arms mostly straight.
4. This will be your starting position.
5. While keeping your arms locked in the position, pull the weight slowly in front of your body down to your thighs while breathing out.
6. At that point, bring the bar back to the starting position using the arc through which the weight was lowered and exhale as you perform this movement.
7. Hold the weight on the initial position for a second and repeat the motion for the prescribed number of repetitions.
