How to do it
- Attach a single handle to the high pulley and sit or kneel facing it.
- Grab the handle with one hand and let your arm reach fully overhead for a stretch.
- Pull the handle down toward your shoulder, driving your elbow down to your side.
- Return slowly until your arm is straight overhead again.
- Keep your torso still; don't lean or rotate to help the pull.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
