The Cable Rear Drive exercise is a weightlifting exercise that targets the muscles of the upper back, including the rear delts, traps, and rhomboids.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Rear Drive exercise:1. Attach a single-handle attachment to a low pulley cable machine.
2. Stand facing the machine with your feet about shoulder-width apart.
3. Grasp the handle with one hand and take a step back to create tension in the cable.
4. Bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
5. Start with your arm extended in front of you and palm facing down.
6. Without rotating your torso, drive your elbow back and up, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
7. Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps.
8. Switch sides and repeat the exercise with the opposite arm.
Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise and focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together to effectively target the muscles of the upper back. It is important to use a weight that challenges you without sacrificing proper form.
