How to do it
- Position dual pulleys to chest height and select an appropriate weight. Stand a foot or two in front of the cables, holding one in each hand. You can stagger your stance for better stability.
- Position the upper arm at a 90 degree angle with the shoulder blades together. This will be your starting position.
- Keeping the rest of the body stationary, extend through the elbows to press the handles forward, drawing them together in front of you.
- Pause at the top of the motion, and return to the starting position.
