Welcome to the fourth week of #BuildingBlocks powered by BridgeAthletic. This pullup progression utlizes a combination of body weight, machine, bilateral and unilateral exercises to help you achieve your goal of performing a pullup.
The first exercise in the progression is a Seated Cable Row. This exercise allows athletes that struggle to pull their own weight to progress safely towards the pullup.
Sit on the bench, knees bent, holding the cable handle just above your knees. Feet are hip-width apart, knees bent, chest out, back flat. Without using a backward sway, pull the handle to your midsection, squeezing your shoulder blades down and together. Pause. Return slowly to start position.
