and position it properly. Next, grab the handle with a overhand grip and pull it down, and at the same time
sit down on the seat with your knees under the restraint pads. Fully straighten your arm and relax
your middle back muscles to stretch your lat muscle. Position your hand so your palm is facing you.
Arch your back and pull the handle down using your lat muscle and rotate your hand inward towards you
until it touches your side chest. Your palm should be facing into your side.

assigned. Then switch to the other side and repeat the exercise.
