- Take a step back to create tension in the cable.
- Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the exercise.
- Pull the v-bar towards your torso by retracting your shoulder blades and bending your elbows.
- As you pull, twist your torso to one side, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in your upper back.
- Slowly release the tension and return to the starting position, untwisting your torso.
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, alternating the twisting direction with each rep.
