How to perform

Adjust seat so handles are mid-chest height. Sit with back against pad, feet flat. Grasp handles with palms forward. Engage core, extend arms fully (but don't lock elbows). Slowly return to start, controlling the movement. Repeat.

Tips

Maintain back contact with pad. Keep feet flat for stability. Squeeze chest muscles on the press. Avoid full elbow lockout. Control both pressing and lowering phases. Start with lighter weight to refine form.
