How to do it

  1. Sit upright on a bench positioned between two cable pulley machines with the pulleys set at a high position. Hold a handle in each hand with an overhand grip (palms facing forward), arms fully extended above you.

  2. Pull the handles down towards your shoulders by bending your elbows and bringing them downwards, keeping them close to your body.

  3. Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position with control.

  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Keep your back straight and avoid using momentum.

  • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the bottom of the movement.

  • Exhale as you pull the handles down and inhale as you extend them back up.
