How to do it
- Set a pulley at its lowest position, take the handle in one hand, and step forward so the cable runs behind you with your arm trailing behind your torso.
- Stand tall in a split stance with the working arm straight and slightly behind your body.
- Curl the handle forward and up by bending the elbow while keeping the upper arm still.
- Lower slowly until the arm is straight and behind you again, finish the set, then switch arms.
