How to do it

  1. Attach a single handle to a low pulley, grab it with one hand and face away from the machine.
  2. Step one foot forward so the cable pulls your arm slightly behind your body.
  3. Curl the handle toward your shoulder, keeping your upper arm still and your elbow back.
  4. Lower slowly into the stretch behind you without letting your shoulder roll forward.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
