Instructions

Setup

  • Attach a rope handle to the lowest pulley setting on a cable machine.

  • Grasp the rope ends with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) and stand facing away from the pulley, with the cable passing between your legs.

Movement

  • Maintain a slight bend in your elbows and a stable stance with your feet shoulder-width apart.

  • Engage your core and initiate the movement by raising your arms forward until they are parallel to the floor.

  • Keep your focus forward and avoid using your lower back or swinging your torso to lift the weight.

  • Pause for a brief moment at the top of the movement to maximize muscle engagement.

  • Slowly and under control, lower the rope back to the starting position until your hands are in front of your hips.
