How to perform: Set two low cables with D-handles, sit or use a supported chest pad if available. Pull the handles toward the midline of the torso so the hands converge at the end of the movement while squeezing the shoulder blades together. Keep a neutral spine and lead with the elbows to hit the upper lats and traps.

Muscles worked: targets the upper-back musculature (lats, rhomboids, mid-traps) with secondary biceps involvement. Common mistakes are overextending the torso, using too much momentum, or allowing the shoulders to creep forward. This variation emphasizes mid- to upper-lat insertion points and can create more trap and upper-back detail when performed with strict form.
