Adjust the weight on the stack first
Attach the short straight bar attachment to a high pulley and grip the ends of the bar with your palms facing downwards
Standing upright with your back straight but with a very slight inclination forward, bring the upper arms close to your body
The forearms should be pointing up towards the pulley. This is your starting position.
Next pull the bar down to straighten your elbows.
Next bring the bar slowly up to the starting point. But with a very slight motion of the upper arms away from your body to target the long head of the Triceps.
Next slowly lower the weight back down to the start position
