How to do it
- Set both pulleys at about chest height, take a handle in each hand and step forward between them.
- Stand in a staggered stance with a slight forward lean, handles beside your chest and elbows about 45° from your body.
- Press both handles forward until your arms are straight and your hands nearly meet in front of your chest.
- Return slowly until your hands are back beside your chest, keeping your torso still and your core braced.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
