What It Is

Targets the back of your upper arms with smooth, steady tension the whole way. It's a simple standing arm builder.

Set the pulley at the top and attach a bar or rope. Stand close with your elbows bent and tucked at your sides. Push the handle down until your arms are straight. Let it rise slowly until your hands reach chest height.

Tips

Keep your elbows pinned so only your forearms move. Stand tall instead of leaning over the handle.
