  3. Sit upright with your chest lifted and your shoulders back, maintaining a slight arch in your lower back.
  4. Engage your lats and pull the handles down towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  5. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly release the handles back to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
