Sit on the machine with feet braced on the platform and knees slightly bent. Grasp the wide hammer-grip handles with palms facing each other, torso upright, and arms fully extended.

1. Retract your shoulder blades and pull the handles toward your lower abdomen.
2. Drive your elbows back and keep them somewhat wide relative to your torso.
3. Squeeze your back muscles hard at the peak of the movement.
4. Control the weight back to the starting position, allowing your lats to stretch.
5. Maintain a neutral spine and avoid excessive leaning.
