Starting position
Stand facing away from a low pulley with the cable running between your legs, holding the attachment in front of the thighs.
Brace and keep a slight bend in the elbows.
Raise the handle in front of you to about shoulder height.
Pause briefly.
Lower slowly without letting the stack touch.
Breathing: Exhale as you raise, inhale as you lower.
