1 - Set a cable pulley to about shoulder height and attach a single handle or straight bar.
2 - Stand facing the machine with your feet hip-width apart and grasp the handle with an overhand grip.
3 - Step back slightly to create cable tension, keeping your torso upright, core braced, and shoulder down away from your ear.
4 - Start with your arm extended slightly in front of your body, then pull the handle down and back by extending your shoulder while keeping your elbow mostly straight.
5 - Move until your hand is near your hip or slightly behind your body without arching your lower back.
6 - Slowly return to the starting position under control, maintaining tension on the cable.
7 - Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides if performing the exercise one arm at a time.
