Vertical pull chosen from the wider candidate pool so the session can change feel without becoming random. Retrieved option uses cable.
- Keep the path smooth and stop before the rep speed falls off hard.
- Sit down on a pull-down machine with a wide bar attached to the top pulley. Make sure that you adjust the knee pad of the machine to fit your height. These pads will prevent your body from being raised by the resistance attached to the bar.

Trunk slot chosen from the retrieved pool with a bias toward easy setup and clear logging. Retrieved option uses cable.
- Keep the movement blunt and controlled so the trunk work supports the session instead of hijacking it.
