The Cable Lying Extension Pullover with Rope Attachment is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the chest, back, and arms. It is a variation of the traditional dumbbell pullover exercise, but uses a cable machine with a rope attachment.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Lying Extension Pullover with Rope Attachment, follow these steps:1. Begin by setting up a cable machine with a rope attachment at the top of the machine. Lie flat on a bench with your feet planted firmly on the ground and your head positioned at the opposite end of the bench.
2. Grasp the rope attachment with both hands, palms facing each other, and extend your arms straight above your chest.
3. Keeping your arms straight, slowly lower the rope attachment behind your head in a controlled motion. Your arms should be perpendicular to your body at the bottom of the movement.
4. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, then engage your chest and back muscles to raise the rope attachment back to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid injury. Keep your core engaged, shoulders down and back, and avoid arching your back. Adjust the weight on the cable machine as needed to ensure proper resistance.
Equipment required
Cable
Cable equipment consists of adjustable pulleys attached to weight stacks that allow for resistance training. This equipment is commonly used for strength training exercises that target various muscle groups in the body, such as chest, back, arms, and legs. Cable equipment provides a versatile and functional way to perform exercises that mimic real-life movements, improving muscle endurance, stability, and coordination.
