How to do it
Start standing with your feet separated at the width of your shoulders.
Tilt the torso forward from the hips until it is almost parallel to the ground, keeping your back straight.
Hold the bar with your hands a little wider than the shoulders, the palms towards you. This is your initial position.
Then, pull the bar towards your chest, keeping the elbows near your body and pressing the shoulder blades together at the top of the movement. Be sure to keep your back straight throughout the movement to protect the spine.
Finally, extend your arms to lower the bar back to the initial position. That would be a repetition. Remember, it is important to perform this exercise with a load that allows you to maintain the correct technique and control the movement at all times.
