Cable Bent-Over Neutral-Grip Kickback with Rope Attachment
The two-arm kickback on a rope from a low pulley; both hands work together in a neutral grip and can part at the top.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a low pulley, hinged forward, rope in both hands, upper arms along the ribs.
Steps
- Extend both elbows until the arms point straight back.
- Part the rope ends slightly at the top.
- Return the forearms to vertical, upper arms still.
Common mistakes
Standing too close to the stack: step back so the cable pulls from in front. Upper arms sinking toward the floor: keep them along the torso. Hands sliding off the ends: grip just inside the stoppers.
Breathing
Exhale extending, inhale returning.
