How to do it

1. Attach both cable handles to a single low pulley. Lie on a flat bench with your head positioned near the pulley. Grasp the handles with your palms facing up and your arms extended in line with your body.
2. Keep your feet flat on the floor and your back pressed against the bench. Engage your core to maintain stability.
3. Raise the handles in an arc motion over your head, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
4. Lower the handles back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the exercise to reduce strain on your joints.
• Focus on the contraction of your lats and triceps as you pull the handles up.
• Exhale as you pull the handles back to the starting position and inhale as you lower them.
