Grab ahold of the cable handle with the outside hand and keep the elbow fixed and near your torso.
Bring the handle away from your abdomen keeping your forearm parallel with the ground. Keep your wrist straight and fixed throughout the movement.
Control the movement back to the starting position and repeat.
