How to do it

  1. Stand in the center of a cable machine with the pulleys set at the lowest position. Grasp the handles with each hand, palms facing up, and take a step forward to create tension in the cables.

  2. Lean lightly forward and position your feet shoulder-width apart, keeping your back straight and your arms extended slightly behind you.

  3. Raise the handles up and together in a wide arc, bringing them to meet above your head, while keeping a slight bend in your elbows.

  4. Slowly lower your arms back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Keep your back straight and avoid using momentum.

  • Focus on squeezing your shoulder muscles at the top of the movement.

  • Exhale as you raise the handles and inhale as you lower them back down.
