How to do it
Adjust the seat so the handles are at chest height when you sit.
Sit tall with your back against the pad and grip the handles.
Keep a slight bend in your elbows and your shoulder blades against the pad.
Bring the handles together in front of your chest in a smooth arc.
Pause and squeeze your chest, then return slowly until you feel a stretch.
Tips
- Keep your chest up and avoid rounding your shoulders forward.
- Control the return instead of letting the weight pull your arms back.
Common mistakes
- Letting the handles travel too far back and overstretching your shoulders.
- Shrugging your shoulders up toward your ears.
- Using momentum to swing the handles together.
