How to do it

  1. Set both pulleys at shoulder height or higher, take a handle in each hand and step forward between them.
  2. Stand in a split stance with a slight forward lean and a soft bend in your elbows.
  3. Bring the handles together in a wide arc in front of your chest, crossing them slightly if you like.
  4. Return slowly until you feel a stretch across your chest, keeping the same bend in your elbows.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
