Instructions

  1. Attach the handle to the bottom pulley of the cable machine. Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and your right side closest to the weight stack.
  2. Grab the handle with your left hand and allow your left hand to pass diagonally across your body, palm inward.
  3. Brace the core and pull the handle through the body until the left hand is completely above the head. Pause at the top position and squeeze your buttocks for stability.

Tips

  • Keep your working arm slightly bent throughout the exercise.
  • Move the handle in a controlled and smooth manner.
  • Work up to a weight that doesn't compromise form.
