Primary Muscle: Back
Equipment: Cable
Level: Beginner
Purpose: To target the rhomboid muscle of your back.
Execution: From a kneeling position in front of the pulley cable, grasp the handle attached to the high pulley cable one hand. Keeping your body upright and your elbow close to your body, retract your shoulder blade and in one explosive movement, pull back. Squeeze at the peak contraction before returning the weight to the start position. Allow the weight to pull you forward slightly before pulling back for another repetition. You can step forward with the opposite leg for support when working with heavier weights.
