Make every rep count.

  1. 01

    Attach a single-handle to a low pulley and choose a load you can control.

  2. 02

    Stand facing away from the machine. Grab the handle with an overhand grip (palm down) and step forward until there’s light tension.

  3. 03

    Start tall with a slight bend in the elbow, arm by your side and the handle just in front of your thigh—weight lifted off the stack.

  4. 04

    Movement

  5. 05

    Keeping your torso still (no leaning or swinging), lift the handle forward until your hand reaches about shoulder height.

  6. 06

    Pause briefly, then lower slowly back to the start under control.

  7. 07

    Form & safety cues

  8. 08

    Keep ribs down and core braced—let the shoulder do the work, not momentum.

  9. 09

    Don’t let the weight stack slam or the handle bump your body.

  10. 10

    Complete your reps, then switch arms.
