How to perform

Set cable pulleys to the lowest position with single handle grips. Lie on a bench between the stacks, feet flat. Grasp handles with an overhand grip, arms extended above your chest. Slowly lower arms in a wide arc, feeling a chest stretch, elbows slightly bent. Pause briefly, then return to start, squeezing your chest. Repeat with control.

Tips

Maintain a slight bend in elbows to protect joints. Squeeze chest muscles during the return. Control the movement; avoid fast return. Keep shoulder blades on the bench for stability. Exhale on the return, inhale on the lower.
