			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This exercise was originally developed for those who could not perform a pull-up.  The problem is, it&#8217;s actually a different type of movement than a pull-up, in that it is more of a horizontal rather than a vertical motion.</p>
<p>We categorize this as a type of &#8220;Row&#8221; and is an excellent way to develop some upper body posterior strength.</p>
<p>Notice how Josh &#8217;sets&#8217; his posture before he begins his pull. This is critical to ensure we maintain proper posture throughout the movement.  </p>
