Horizontal pulley pulley with prone grip: Execution

The starting position sees the athlete sitting with the hips flexed, the knees semi-flexed and the feet positioned on the appropriate supports. The shoulder blades are abducted and the hands grasp the special handle with a supine grip. The back can be both in flexion (variant 1) and in its position of strength (variant 2); in this "last case there is no" action 7 and the muscles involved become stabilizers of the spine. In variant 1 (action 6 is also performed) the hips are totally flexed and the execution consists in simultaneously extending the spine and also to reach the starting position of variant 2. At this point the movement continues exactly the same way in both options. variant 1, does not perform action 6 and the muscles involved in it are considered as hip stabilizers): The starting position sees the athlete with his back in his position of strength, the hips almost completely flexed, the shoulder blades abducted , the shoulders partially flexed both in the sagittal plane and in the transverse plane and the elbows extended. The execution consists in extending the shoulders both in the sagittal plane and in the longitudinal plane and at the same time flexing the elbows, adducing and partially elevating the shoulder blades. The action ends when the handle comes into contact with the torso without this gesture being completed with a internal rotation of the shoulders. The inclination of the torso is not changed for the entire duration of the exercise. It is possible to use the so-called cheating technique with small distensions of the lower limbs. Raising the pulley and bringing it progressively closer to the pure horizontal plane on which the shoulders lie, the actions of scapular elevation and sagittal extension of the shoulders are reduced and those of scapular adduction and transverse shoulder extension.At the elbow the prone grip favors the brachioradialis and brachialis.
