How to Perform

  1. 1

    Set up a cable machine with a single handle attachment at the high pulley position.

  2. 2

    Stand or kneel facing the machine and grasp the handle with one hand, arm fully extended overhead.

  3. 3

    Keep your torso upright and core engaged throughout the movement.

  4. 4

    Pull the handle down in an arc toward your hip, focusing on driving your elbow down and back.

  5. 5

    Squeeze your lat at the bottom of the movement, feeling a strong contraction.

  6. 6

    Slowly return the handle to the starting position with control, fully stretching the lat.

  7. 7

    Complete all reps on one side before switching to the other arm.

  8. 8

    Maintain a slight lean away from the working arm to increase the stretch and range of motion.
