Straddle the bar, grip the handle

  1. Starting position

    Straddle a barbell with one end anchored, bend your knees slightly, and grip the T-handle near the free end.

  2. The movement

    Pull the handle toward your stomach with your elbows moving back, then lower it until your arms are straight again.

Most common mistake

Don't raise your torso to lift the bar, keep your hips hinged and your chest facing the floor.
