Description:

Begin by moving the pulleys to the high position, select the resistance to be used, and take a handle in each hand. Stand directly between both pulleys with your arms extended out to your sides. Your head and chest should be up while your arms form a "T". This will be your starting position. Keeping the elbows extended, pull your arms straight to your sides. Return your arms back to the starting position after a pause at the peak contraction. Continue the movement for the prescribed number of repetitions.
