question 2
which of the following is a horizontal pull?
○ hamstring curl
○ pullup
○ chest supported row
○ pushup

Explanation:

To determine a horizontal pull exercise, we analyze each option:

• Hamstring Curl: Focuses on leg muscles (hamstrings), involves a curling motion, not horizontal pull.
• Pullup: Is a vertical pull (pulling body upward against gravity, vertical direction).
• Chest Supported Row: In this exercise, the movement of pulling the weight towards the body is in a horizontal plane (along the transverse or horizontal axis relative to the body’s orientation during the exercise).
• Pushup: Is a pushing exercise, not a pulling one.

So, the Chest Supported Row is a horizontal pull.

Answer:

C. Chest Supported Row
