How to do it

  1. 1

    Start by standing to the right side of a low pulley row. Use your left hand to come across the body and grab a single handle attached to the low pulley with a pronated grip (palms facing down). Rest your arm in front of you. Your right hand should grab the machine for better support and balance.

  2. 2

    Make sure that your back is erect and your feet are shoulder width apart from each other. This is the starting position.

  3. 3

    Begin to use the left hand and come across your body out until it is elevated to shoulder height while exhaling.

  4. 4

    Feel the contraction at the top for a second and begin to slowly lower the handle back down to the original starting position while inhaling.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

  6. 6

    Switch arms and repeat the exercise.
