Pull-downs

• Hold your shoulder blades
  elevated upwards.
• Activate your T.V.A.
• Begin by depressing down
  your shoulder blades, and
  not your hands.
• Immediately follow with
  your elbows, as the
  resistance is being pulled
  towards your upper chest
  and not behind your back.
• Then slowly return the
  resistance to its starting
  position.

Pull-ups

• Hold chest up and out.
• Activate your T.V.A.
• Concentrate on shoulder
  blades retracting together,
  not hands pulling you up.
• Exhale as you pull up and
  inhale as you return.
