2. Keeping your elbows straight, pull your arms down to your sides and squeeze your chest at the bottom; return slowly.

How to do it

  1. Begin by moving the pulleys to the high position, select the resistance to be used, and take a handle in each hand.
  2. Stand directly between both pulleys with your arms extended out to your sides. Your head and chest should be up while your arms form a "T". This will be your starting position.
  3. Keeping the elbows extended, pull your arms straight to your sides.
  4. Return your arms back to the starting position after a pause at the peak contraction.
  5. Continue the movement for the prescribed number of repetitions.
