How to do it
- Attach a rope to a pulley, grab both ends and turn your back to the machine.
- Step one foot forward, hold the rope behind your head and keep your elbows high.
- Straighten your arms until they're fully extended, then let the rope return slowly behind your head until your triceps are deeply stretched.
- Keep your elbows in place and your ribs down so your lower back doesn't arch.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
