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.
