To perform this exercise, you will need a low pulley row machine with a V-bar. The V-bar enables you to place your hands in a neutral grip (palms facing each other). Sit down on the machine and place your feet on the front platform ensuring that your knees are slightly bent. Lean over to grab the V-bar handles. Keeping your arms fully straight, pull back on the selected resistance until your torso and legs are creating a right angle. Focus on keeping a slight arch in your lower back and ensuring that you chest is sticking out. Keeping the torso stationary, pull the V-bar handles back towards your torso until the attachment touches (or nearly touches) your abdominals. At this peak contraction, concentrate on squeezing the muscles of the back. Slowly lower the resistance back to the starting position and repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions.
