Stand on the footrests or platforms provided on each side of the T-bar. Keep your knees slightly bent and your back straight. Bend at the waist to about a 45 degree angle. If there is a bench or pad to rest upon with the equipment you are using, lay your chest on it for proper position for the lift.<\/p>\n

1. Inhale then, pull the T-bar up until the plates contact your chest or until your arms make a straight line from elbow to elbow, i.e., about 180 degrees. This will depend on your equipment.<\/p>\n

2. Exhale while you complete the movement. Lower the weight and begin the next repetition.<\/p>\n

Notes: This exercise is very similar to bent over rows. However it places more emphasis on the back and requires less effort to set your body in the correct movement position.<\/p>\n

This exercise works the lats, teres major, posterior deltoids, arm flexors trapezius and rhomboid muscles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
