Make every rep count.
- 01
Set the cable pulley to the lowest setting and attach a single handle.
- 02
Stand sideways to the stack, feet about shoulder-width, and brace your core to keep your torso still.
- 03
Reach across your body to grab the handle with a neutral grip (thumb up). Start with your arm down and slightly in front of you.
- 04
With a soft bend in your elbow, raise your arm out to the side in a smooth arc until it reaches about shoulder height. Keep your shoulder down and away from your ear—don’t shrug.
- 05
Pause briefly, then lower slowly under control back to the start. Let the shoulder do the work, not momentum.
- 06
Complete all reps, then switch sides.
