1 - Set a cable pulley to upper-chest or face height and attach a rope handle.
2 - Stand facing the cable machine, hold one end of the rope in each hand with a neutral grip, and step back until your arms are fully extended with light tension on the cable.
3 - Brace your core, keep your chest tall, and set your shoulders down and back without arching your lower back.
4 - Pull the rope toward your face by driving your elbows back and outward, separating the rope ends as your hands move toward your temples.
5 - Squeeze your shoulder blades together and pause briefly with your elbows high and wrists aligned near your face.
6 - Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position while maintaining control and keeping your shoulders stable.
