This exercise is especially good for strengthening your lats and traps. Make sure you pull with your back and don’t hoist the weight up with your arm. Keep the movement slow and controlled and concentrate on contracting the muscles that are involved. Stronger lats and traps will help you with other exercises such as pull ups, deadlifts and explosive movements such as dumbbell snatches.
