The Suspension Power Pull targets your upper body strength and stability.

  1. Adjust the suspension straps to a suitable height.
  2. Grip the handles with both hands, palms facing each other.
  3. Lean back, keeping your body straight and engage your core.
  4. Pull your body towards the handles, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  5. Lower yourself back to the starting position with control.

How to perform the Suspension Power Pull

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Suspension Power Pull using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your latissimus dorsi.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your latissimus dorsi rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
