SHANAY NORVELL: High pulls are great for all of the upper body but specifically for the
biceps, rear delts, and the rhomboids right in that center section of your back which
is going to help with good posture. You're going to start with the rope as your attachment
preferably on a cable machine. Your feet are separated. One foot in back, and you're going
to have the back foot propped up. Chest towards up, arms are stretched out, exhale pull as
if you had a bow and arrow, elbows up, and then release and you can allow your head to
look down as you release. Exhale pull, squeeze the shoulder blades together and then inhale
release. So you're going to feel all those muscles contract in your upper back and your
biceps are working any time you have a pulling motion. If you feel the need you can also
increase the weight but make sure it's not in a jerky motion. You want to keep everything
smooth, challenging but manageable. That's your high pulls.
