Start by standing facing the wall with your feet shoulder-width apart. With your arms extended press ZeroWheel against the wall at forehead-level. Focus on your back, arms, and core. Do not lock your elbows or knees, and be sure not to arch your back.
Press and roll ZeroWheel in a straight path downward, keeping your arms extended. Drive the downward movement with your upper and mid back. Keep your core engaged and do not move your torso excessively.
Pull down until ZeroWheel is at hip-level. Engage your upper back by tensing the muscles. Do not remove tension between ZeroWheel and the wall—lean slightly forward if ZeroWheel begins to skid or come off the wall.
Press and roll ZeroWheel in a straight path upward, keeping your arms extended. Stabilize the upward movement with your back and core. Do not disengage your stabilizing muscles.
The ZeroWheel Straight Arm Pulldown is ideal for anyone looking to strengthen their back muscles and improve shoulder stability. It’s especially useful for swimmers, rock climbers, and rowers, who rely on strong lats and shoulder control for powerful pulling motions and upper body endurance.
