What it works

Builds your upper back and shoulder blade control. Better posture helps in daily life and supports pulling exercises in the gym.

What it should feel like

You should feel it in your upper back, between the shoulder blades and rear delts. It should not feel like your lower back is doing all the work.

Most common mistake

A common mistake is lifting too high and overarching the lower back. Lift only as high as you can control and let the upper back lead the movement.
