It works your lats, traps, rhomboids, and rear delts, as well as your core stability. 

To perform this exercise:

• Pull the weight towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together. 

• Return to the starting position and repeat.

• Press the weight up and over your head until your arms are fully extended.

• Lower the weight back to the starting position and repeat.
