2. Grip each of the cable with an underhand grip (palms facing up) and stand in the centre with your arms outstretched. This is the starting position.

4. Pause, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.

Exercise Tips
1. It’s very important that you keep your body and elbows fixed in place throughout the set. Do not move your elbows! Focus on only allowing your forearms to move.
2. This is an isolation exercise, so your focus should be on muscle contraction and stretch –not on the weight.
