How to use the puller

The puller is a kind of fitness equipment in our daily life. Not only can it be often seen on the market for sale, but it is also one of the indispensable fitness equipment in the gym. Friends who like fitness should all know that the main function of the puller is to help us exercise our chest muscles. In fact, there are many more ways to use the puller, not just for the pectoral muscles. Let me introduce them to you below.

(1) Double-handed high tensioner curl

This exercise allows you to curl your arms while raising them, which works your brachialis more effectively.

Starting position: Hang the two handles on the high pulleys on both sides, stand in the middle, hold a pulley in each hand, palms facing up, and extend your arms to the pulleys on both sides and parallel to the ground.

Action: Bend your elbows and pull the handles toward your head in one smooth motion, keeping your upper arms steady and your palms facing up; pull toward the center as far as you can while your biceps contract as much as possible. Then slowly return to the starting position.

Supplement: You can also place a 90-degree straight chair between the two pulleys and complete this exercise in a sitting position.

(2) Standing double-handed curl

This is the most basic curl, but it's also the most effective exercise. Adjusting the weight of the puller with an iron bolt is much simpler than constantly adjusting the weight of the barbell or dumbbell plates. This saves time between intervals, making your workout more compact and effective.

Starting position: Choose a medium-length bar, preferably a swivel bar, and hang it on a low pulley. Stand facing the pulley with your knees slightly bent and your lower back slightly arched. Grasp the bar with your hands, palms facing up, and your grip shoulder-width apart.

(3) Standing one-arm curl

Doing the exercise with one hand focuses the effect while also giving you the opportunity to use the palm-turning motion (turning your palm inward to upward) to fully engage your biceps.

Starting position: Hang a single pull handle on a low pulley. Stretch forward with one arm to grasp the handle, with your body slightly tilted to one side of the axis, so that the arm you want to exercise is close to the puller.

Movement: Flex your elbows (keeping your shoulders steady) and smoothly roll your wrists as you pull the handles up; palms facing up at the top of the pull. Then reverse and return to the starting position. Alternate arms.

The above introduces three other ways to use the puller in great detail. I hope these contents can help more friends with their daily fitness. Using the puller in different ways can help us exercise the muscles in different parts of the body. This shows that there are many ways to use the puller. Friends who have less time can also buy it and use it at home.
