Instructions:

  • 1Stand next to the pulley system and grab the handle attached to the low pulley with your far hand.
  • 2Lean away from the pulley as you raise the handle up and out to your side until your upper arm is about parallel with the ground.
  • 3Pause at the top for a second, then slowly lower the handle back to the starting position.
  • 4Repeat the process for your required repetitions then switch to your other arm.

Tips:

  • Ensure that your body is slightly leaning away from the machine during the whole exercise.
  • Control the speed of the movement, especially while lowering the handle.
  • Do not use your body momentum to lift the weight, focus only on your shoulder muscle strength.
  • Make sure your arms are slightly bent at the elbows while performing the exercise.
