How to do it

  1. Attach a rope to a high pulley and hold both ends in a neutral grip, palms facing each other.
  2. Stand close to the machine, lean forward slightly and tuck your elbows at your sides.
  3. Push the rope down and spread the ends apart at the bottom as your arms straighten.
  4. Let the rope rise slowly to about chest height, keeping your elbows still.

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