Pull rod to the chest in the slope — technique of the exercise:
- Stand as shown in the figure. Grab the barbell wide grip and lift it. It is important to keep your back straight to avoid injury.
- Slightly bend your knees. During the exercise remember that the target muscles are the back of the Delta. The torso should be as parallel to the floor.
- Maintaining the perpendicular position of the legs relative to the body, raise the barbell up to the upper part of the chest. If performed correctly, this exercise should resemble a “bench press”, but in the opposite direction. Try as much as possible to involve the biceps.
- On the inhale return to starting position.
