Common Rope Front Raise mistakes
What goes wrong most often when you do the Rope Front Raise, and how to fix it.
The ends of the rope pull apart and the hands spread.
Hold the rope with your hands together, near the stops, and raise it without separating them.
The pulley sits at mid-height and the range loses tension at the bottom.
Use the pulley in its lowest position and stand with your back to it, with the cable between your legs.
The weight pulls your body back and you compensate by leaning.
Take a half step forward, brace your abs, and raise the rope to eye level without moving your torso.
