How to do it

Set the cable pulley to roughly waist or low height and attach a single handle or grip the bare cable ball.
Hinge forward at the hips with a flat back and a staggered stance, facing the pulley or slightly offset.
Grasp the cable with one hand and draw your upper arm up so it rests parallel to your torso, pinning your elbow tight against your side.

Keeping your upper arm completely stationary, extend your elbow to push the cable backward.
Continue extending until your arm is fully straight and pause briefly to contract the triceps.
Slowly bend your elbow to return the forearm to the starting position without letting the upper arm drop.

Exhale as you extend the arm backward, and inhale as you return to the bent-arm position.

Swinging the upper arm back and forth to generate momentum.: Keep the humerus pinned parallel to your torso and move strictly through the elbow joint.
Dropping the elbow toward the floor between repetitions.: Engage the upper back and rear deltoid to maintain an elevated upper-arm position throughout the entire set.
