Technique

How to perform Cable Pullover

1. Attach a straight bar to a high cable pulley and stand facing the machine.
2. Hold it overhand with your arms overhead, then move back enough to keep the cable taut and hinge slightly at the hips.
3. Keep a slight elbow bend and a steady torso.
4. Pull the bar down in an arc toward your thighs by moving at the shoulders without bending and straightening your elbows.
5. Pause before the bar rests on your legs, then return it overhead under control while keeping the same torso position.
