How to do it

  1. Attach a rope to a low pulley and hold both ends in a neutral grip, palms facing each other.
  2. Stand tall close to the machine and pin your elbows to your sides.
  3. Curl the rope up toward your shoulders, keeping your palms facing each other.
  4. Lower slowly to straight arms without letting the weights touch down, keeping your body still.

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