Step-by-step
- Attach a single handle to the high pulley and kneel on one knee facing the machine
- Grip the handle with the opposite hand, arm fully extended overhead
- Depress your shoulder blade and pull your elbow toward your ribs
- Once your elbow passes your torso, squeeze your back for one second
- Release the arm back to full extension under control; finish the reps, then switch sides
Coaching tip
The kneeling position removes leg drive; the entire pull must come from your back.
