Step by step
- Attach a V-bar to a high cable pulley and stand facing the machine with feet hip-width apart.
- Grip the V-bar with both hands, palms angled inward and slightly down.
- Tuck your elbows in close to your sides and pull the bar down to chest height as the start.
- Brace your core and press the bar down by extending your elbows, keeping them pinned.
- Lock the arms out fully at the bottom with a brief squeeze of the triceps.
- Let the bar travel slowly back up to chest height under control before the next rep.
