Instructions

Setup

  • Adjust the cable pulley to shoulder height.

  • Stand perpendicular to the cable machine, far enough away so that there is tension on the cable at the start of the movement.

  • Keep your feet hip-width apart and maintain a braced core for stability.

Movement

  • Grip the handle with one hand.

  • Push the handle forward in a controlled manner, extending your arm until it is almost fully locked out.

  • Maintain shoulder alignment throughout the pressing motion.

  • Slowly return to the starting position, maintaining tension on the cable until your hand is back by your chest.
