Instructions

1. Position the cable machine pulley to the lowest setting and attach a handle to it.

2. Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.

3. Grasp the handle with one hand, with your palm facing up towards you.

4. Tighten your core and straighten your back. This is your starting position.

5. Engaging your shoulders and upper back, lift your arm diagonally across your body, pulling the handle from the low position up to above and across your opposite shoulder.

6. Your arm should be straight but not locked out at the peak of the movement. Squeeze your shoulder muscles at the top.

7. Slowly lower the handle back to the starting position, ensuring you control the weight with your muscles rather than letting it drop.

8. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

9. Switch hands and repeat the exercise for the same number of repetitions to work both sides of the body equally.

Note: It’s important to keep the movements controlled and avoid using body momentum to lift the weight. Adjust the weight to suit your ability level while maintaining proper form.
