Need a home version
Can you give a home version of your exercises? I don’t have access to a cable system.
If you can routinely give two versions it would be VERY helpful!
Thank you.
For a home version, you can try a dumbbell pullover laying length-wise on a bench. Make sure you have healthy shoulders and rotators before trying and, if unsure on proper technique, check with a trainer first. Unlike the stiffarm pulldown as Flavia is demonstrating above, the dumbbell pullover has more stress in the stretch position (as opposed to the contracted position). Precise technique is imperative.
PS…I may be a man, but I love your site, Flavia! 🙂
Thanks James 🙂
Ladies, what James suggested is a good substitute or you can mimic the same movement with a resistance band instead.
All the best,
