Execution Extend arm down and pull elbows toward body slightly. Return until forearm is close to upper arm and elbows are to the front. Repeat. Comments Step close to cable to provide resistance at the top of the motion. Elbows may be brought closer to body by slightly flexing waist and/or slightly extending shoulder.
