The Long Back Pull is an effective exercise to train the posterior shoulder, the complete back and
the arms. Due to the long lever action of the arms, the exercise concerted trains the medial and
lower back. The V-shape allows for a greater range of motion and an additional training stimulus
for the upper back and shoulder.
