How to do it

  1. Set a handle on the low pulley and stand side-on to the stack.
  2. Take the handle in your outside hand, arm across your body.
  3. Raise it out to the side up to shoulder height, elbow slightly soft.
  4. Lower slowly against the cable.
  5. The cable pulls from below, so tension stays on at the bottom where dumbbells go weightless.
