Tutorial

  1. 1
    Stand to the side of the cable tower and position the cable pulley at the highest level. Attach a simple handle and grasp it with your left hand. Bend forward slightly with your upper body. Your arm should now be pulled back slightly by the weight
  2. 2
    Stretch your arm out to the side so that there is a 120° angle between your arm and upper body. Your arm should be in line with the cable. Your arm should not be fully extended, the elbow joints should be slightly bent. Your palm should be facing forward.
  3. 3
    Move the handle downwards at an angle in a powerful and controlled manner until your hand is under your belly button. The angle between your upper and lower arm remains the same throughout the exercise. Exhale as you do so
  4. 4
    Let the handle up in a controlled manner until it is back in the starting position (120° away from the upper body). Inhale as you do so.
  5. 5
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions with the left side first and continue with the right side after a 60-second break.
Tip
Imagine that you are pushing with your elbow as you move the handles forward. During the eccentric movement (handles backwards), do not go too far back so that the shoulder is not overstretched. Make sure that you have a stable stance throughout the exercise and that your back remains straight.
