Step-by-step
- Set the seat so the handles are at upper-chest height.
- Rest your back and shoulders fully against the pad and plant your feet firmly on the floor.
- Grip the handles at shoulder width and pull your shoulder blades back.
- Extend your arms up and forward without locking your elbows.
- Squeeze your upper chest and pause for 1 second, then lower the weight under control over 2-3 seconds.
- Repeat while keeping tension, without letting the weight stack touch down.
Coaching tip
The handles should start at the level of your upper chest; press while keeping your shoulders pinned to the seat.
