How to do it
- Set both pulleys at the lowest position, then sit on an upright bench centered between them or stand in the middle.
- Take a handle in each hand and bring them up to shoulder height, palms facing forward and forearms roughly vertical.
- Press the handles up until your arms are straight and your hands nearly meet overhead.
- Lower them slowly back to shoulder height, keeping your core braced and your lower back from arching.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
