Set up an incline bench at a 45-degree angle and attach a cable handle to the low pulley. Sit on the bench facing the cable machine with your feet flat on the floor and your knees slightly bent. Grasp the cable handle with an overhand grip and extend your arms fully in front of you. Lean forward from your hips while keeping your back straight and your core engaged. Pull the cable handle towards your chest by retracting your shoulder blades and bending your elbows. Squeeze your back muscles at the top of the movement, then slowly extend your arms back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
