How to do it
- Attach a single handle to the top pulley, pick a weight and sit or kneel under the pulley.
- Hold the handle with one hand, arm stretched up overhead.

- Let it rise back up slowly; finish your reps, then repeat on each side.
Do all reps on one side, then switch.
Beginner tip: Drive your elbow down toward your hip without twisting your body.
