Execution Guide: Biomechanical Steps
Initial Setup and Positioning
Set the pulley height and select the proper attachment, keeping your spine neutral and core tight.
Joint Lock and Posture
Retract and depress your scapulae, stabilizing the shoulder girdle and keeping your core braced.
Concentric Execution and Muscle Focus
Initiate the concentric contraction targeting the Lats, moving the load smoothly without jerky momentum. eBolts technical cue: Pull the bar to chin level driving the elbows down, without swinging the torso.
Eccentric Control and Breathing
Control the eccentric descent in 2 to 3 seconds, sustaining continuous muscular tension. Inhale during lowering and exhale on peak effort.
Coach Technique Cue
