EXERCISE INSTRUCTION
- Tilt your torso forward as close to parallel with the floor as possible, with your legs slightly bent at the knees.
- Grasp the bar with both hands just below the discs. This is your starting position.
- Pull the projectile towards you with your elbows moving parallel to the body, which will increase the load on the muscles of the back until the discs touch the bottom of the chest.
- At the highest point of the movement, pause, tighten your back muscles.
- Lower the projectile slowly without touching the floor with the discs.
NOTE: For a greater range of motion, it is recommended to use discs with a small radius.
