Upper backLats- Set your position
Check the suspension anchor. Grip the handles, plant your heels and lean back with your body straight.

Pull your chest between the handles, then slowly extend elbows. A more upright position is easier.
- Breathe and control the pace
Breathe out during the harder part and in on the return. Control the return instead of dropping the weight. Two reps in reserve means you could do about two more clean repetitions.
