How to do it

  1. Adjust the seat so your upper arms lie flat on the pad and your elbows line up with the machine's pivot.
  2. Grab the handles with an underhand grip and sit tall with your chest against the pad.
  3. Curl the handles toward your shoulders, then return them slowly until your arms are almost straight.
  4. Keep your upper arms on the pad the whole time and your shoulders down and back.

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