How it's done
Use any handle, ideally a fixed one, so you're measuring side pressure alone and not being limited by grip strength. Set the pulley at about hand height. Your elbow doesn't need to stay planted.
Lift at your own risk. Max attempts can cause injury: warm up, use safe equipment, and stop if anything hurts. This isn't medical advice. See the Terms.
