Hey there - anyone that can help, i'd sure appriciate it!

I was doing the OASCLs and found that I was only able to do 2lbs with my right arm for 1 set of 10 (instead of the 20 perscribed), and none with the left. I don't think I was doing them right. Would anyone be willing to do a step by step so I can know that I'm doing them correctly?

Thanks!

Stand straight, with your arm at your side, grasping the handle attached to the floor-level pulley. Having your arm straight, lift the weight up in an arc in one smooth controlled manner until it is higher than your head. Lower your arm slowly and resisting all the way till your arm is back at the side of your thigh. Finish your reps, then do the same set to your other arm.

go slightly back with your elbow as you raise your hand..it shouldn't be straight up and down.
