Horizontal Rows

  • Use as much resistance that you can maintain full control with.
  • Hold chest up and out.
  • Maintain natural curve in lower back.
  • Keep shoulder blades protracted apart.
  • Do not hunch up your shoulders to neck or ears.
  • Activate your T.V.A.
  • Begin by retracting your shoulder blades together, not pulling with your hands.
  • Then as you exhale, pull your elbows back without the pulling action coming
    from your hands, but from your back.
  • Squeeze your back tight.
  • Inhale as you return with your shoulder blades protracting apart and not your hands just returning.
  • Do not round your back when returning or pulling the resistance, this will only
    work your arms.
