Place straight hand grip attachment onto the pulley’s carabiner. Grip handle in right hand, palm facing outward, while standing tall, feet wider than hips, abs engaged, and elbow pulled to your side, bent at 90 degrees. 

Action 
EXHALE: Keeping elbow bent and fixed at the side of the waist, pull the handle across the midline of the body. 

INHALE: Slowly return to the start position to complete one rep. 

Finish set on this side and then switch sides.
