Instructions

1Set the pulleys at around mid-thigh height, attach handles, and select the load.
2Take hold of the handles one by one and stand so the pulleys are behind you.
3Take a couple of steps forward to lift the weights off their stacks and allow the weight to pull your elbows behind your torso.
4With your chest out, lean your torso slightly forward and stagger your stance (one foot forward, the other one back).
5Inhale, brace your core, and curl until your wrists are at elbow level. Squeeze your biceps and exhale.
6Extend with control your arms, allowing the handles to travel behind your body, and inhale.
7Continue for the planned repetitions.
