1 - Attach a rope handle to a high cable pulley and stand facing the machine with your feet about shoulder-width apart.
2 - Grip the rope with both hands using a neutral grip, then step back slightly so your arms are extended in front of you and the cable is under tension.
3 - Hinge slightly at the hips, keep your chest up, brace your core, and maintain a soft bend in your elbows.
4 - Keeping your arms mostly straight, pull the rope down in an arc toward your thighs by driving your shoulders down and back.
5 - Pause briefly at the bottom while squeezing your lats, with the rope ends slightly separated near your thighs.
6 - Slowly return the rope to the starting position under control without letting your shoulders shrug upward.
