Make every rep count.
- 01
Set a rope handle on the highest pulley and stand facing away from the stack.
- 02
Take a split stance for balance, grab the rope overhead with a neutral grip (palms facing), and hinge slightly at the hips so your torso leans forward.
- 03
Keep your upper arms fixed and elbows pointing up/forward—don’t let them flare or drift.
- 04
Drive the movement by straightening your elbows to contract the triceps, pulling the rope down/forward until your arms are almost fully locked out.
- 05
Pause briefly, then slowly bend the elbows to return to the start under control (no swinging or using your back).
- 06
Repeat for the prescribed reps.
