Before your first rep

  • Kneel far enough from the stack that the cable stays under tension at the top.
  • Rope held beside your head, hands staying there for the whole set.

The movement

  1. 1Kneel facing away from or toward a high pulley, holding a rope beside your head.
  2. 2Curl your torso down by rounding your upper back, not by folding at the hips.
  3. 3Return under control.

No history for this one yet. Start lighter than you think you need — you should finish every set feeling like you had four or five more reps in you. You can always add weight next session; a strain costs you weeks.

Set the pin low for your first set and add from there. Nothing is lost by starting too light on day one.
