1 - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in one hand with a neutral grip.
2 - Hinge slightly at the hips and bend your knees slightly, keeping your back flat and core engaged. Place your free hand on your thigh or a surface for light support.
3 - Let the dumbbell hang naturally at arm's length toward the floor, palm facing inward.
4 - Drive your elbow up and back in a diagonal pulling motion, as if you were starting a lawnmower, rotating your torso slightly at the top of the movement.
5 - Squeeze your upper back and lat at the top of the pull, ensuring your elbow travels past your torso.
6 - Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position in a controlled manner, fully extending your arm.
7 - Complete all reps on one side before switching to the other arm.
