How to do it

  1. Attach a straight or EZ bar to a high pulley and grab it underhand at about shoulder width.
  2. Stand tall near the machine with your elbows at your sides, forearms about parallel to the floor.
  3. Push the bar down until your arms are fully straight, then let it rise slowly back up.
  4. Keep your elbows pinned in place and your wrists straight instead of letting them bend back.

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