It is best to use a cable machine with an overhead pulley and a rope or a straight bar.
Starting position-
grip the bar with your hands about shoulder width apart in an overhand fashion. 
Movement-
Keeping your back straight and elbow stationary, push the bar down until your arms are completely extended.  Then slowly bring the weight back to your starting point.
Note- Never allow the weight stack on the machine to touch.
