Instructions
Select a manageable load on the weight stack. Adjust the seat so the vertical handles are at lower to mid-chest height.
Sit with your back supported and feet planted. Hold the vertical handles with your palms facing each other and keep your wrists straight.
Start with your elbows bent behind the handles. Use the start-assist pedal if your machine has one, then release it as directed by the machine.
Press the handles forward by extending your elbows. Keep your shoulders down, torso supported, and elbows aligned behind your hands.
Finish at a comfortable arm extension without forcefully locking your elbows or lifting your back off the pad.
Return slowly until you reach a comfortable chest stretch. Keep control of the stack and avoid letting the weights crash together.
Repeat without rocking your torso. Stop if the movement causes pain.
