Instructions Preparation Stand facing low to medium height cable pulley. Grasp stirrup attachment and position bent elbow shoulder height out to side with forearm in line with cable. Execution Pull stirrup up and back as far as possible. Return by lowering stirrup to original position. Repeat. Continue with opposite arm. Comments Wrist may be keep straighter throughout movement than what is shown. Also, keep elbow shoulder height and bent at right angle. Height of cable pulley is dependent upon: Individual range of motion shoulder internal and external rotation also see Flexibility Assessments For example, pulley cable can be lowered if exerciser has adequate shoulder internal rotation. Desired emphasis of resistance near specific range of motion. Greatest relative resistance is at range of motion where cable is perpendicular to forearm. Low pulley is hardest at beginning. Pulley at height of elbow is hardest at end. See Force Vectors.
