How to do it
- Attach a rope to a pulley at about head height and grab one end in each hand.
- Step back until your arms are straight, then stand tall with your core braced.
- Pull the rope toward your face, spreading the ends apart as your elbows travel out and back.
- Rotate your hands back at the end so they finish beside your ears, level with or above your elbows, then return slowly.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
