How to do it

  1. 1

    Attach a rope attachment to a low pulley and stand facing the machine about 12 inches away from it.

  2. 2

    Grasp the rope with a neutral (palms-in) grip and stand straight up keeping the natural arch of the back and your torso stationary.

  3. 3

    Put your elbows in by your side and keep them there stationary during the entire movement. Tip: Only the forearms should move; not your upper arms. This will be your starting position.

  4. 4

    Using your biceps, pull your arms up as you exhale until your biceps touch your forearms. Tip: Remember to keep the elbows in and your upper arms stationary.

  5. 5

    After a 1 second contraction where you squeeze your biceps, slowly start to bring the weight back to the original position.

  6. 6

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
