How to perform it

Extend your arms fully in front of you, keeping your elbows slightly bent. Engage your lats and slowly pull the rope down towards your thighs, keeping your arms straight. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then slowly release the tension and return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
