Movement instructions

1
Attach a single handle to a low cable.
2
After selecting the correct weight, stand a couple feet back with a wide-split stance. Your arm should be extended and your shoulder forward. This will be your starting position.
3
Perform the movement by retracting the shoulder and flexing the elbow. As you pull, supinate the wrist, turning the palm upward as you go.
4
After a brief pause, return to the starting position.

Technique guidance

Exhale as you draw the resistance toward you and inhale as the arms return under control. Avoid using a breath hold to create momentum.

Use a stable setup and a load or resistance you can control through a comfortable range.
Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or feel unwell.
Check that the attachment, pin, and cable are secure before applying resistance.
