Step by step

Set the pulley above head height and attach a straight bar, then grip it overhand at shoulder width.
Step back until the cable has tension and stand with feet hip-width apart and a slight forward lean.
Pull the bar toward your forehead with the elbows flaring wide and high, leading with the back of the upper arms.
Squeeze your rear delts and upper back at the end of the pull, keeping your wrists in line with your forearms.
Slowly let the bar travel back to full arm extension over 2 to 3 seconds, keeping the chest tall.
Repeat for 12 to 20 reps, prioritizing the squeeze and elbow path over loading heavy weight.
