• Control Your Movements: Avoid jerky or fast movements, which can lead to injury. Instead, keep your movements controlled and steady, both when pulling the cable towards you and when releasing it back.
• Avoid Overextending: Don't pull the cable too far back, as this can lead to straining your shoulder muscles. Your hands should not go beyond your chest in the pulling motion.
