How to perform this exercise
- Attach a rope to a cable pulley to the bottom of the weight stack. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, your knees slightly bent and your abs drawn in. Grasp the rope with a close underhand grip (palms facing up). Lower your arms fully to above your thighs and bending only your elbows, raise the rope to your upper chest. Pause for a moment and then return to the starting position.
Use a controlled range of motion and a load you can manage. Stop if a movement causes pain. Ask a qualified coach for help with unfamiliar exercises.
