Adjust the cable to be as low as possible then grab the bar evenly and step back. Your arms should be extended and in front of your thighs.

Start by raising your elbows up until the bar gets to approximately chin height. Then slowly lower back down to the start position. Ensure the handle stays close to your body for the movement. Keep your core engaged to maintain a straight torso. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.

Avoid bringing your elbows up too high or rushing repetitions.
