How to do it
- Set a pulley at elbow height with a light weight, stand side-on to it and hold the handle in your far hand.
- Bend your elbow to 90° and pin it to your side; a rolled towel between your elbow and body is optional.
- Rotate your forearm outward, away from your body, keeping your elbow against your side and your torso still.
- Return your hand slowly to the front of your stomach, then switch sides.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
