How to do it

1. Set a cable pulley at its lowest position and stand sideways to it, holding the handle in the far hand across the front of your body.
2. Brace with your free hand on the machine and keep a slight bend in the working elbow.
3. Raise the arm out to the side until it is about level with your shoulder, leading with the elbow.
4. Lower slowly against the cable's pull, complete the reps, then turn around for the other arm.
