How to do it
- Set both pulleys at the lowest position and stand centered between them.
- Cross the cables by holding the right handle in your left hand and the left handle in your right, hands in front of your hips.
- Raise your arms up and out into a Y until your hands reach about head height, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
- Lower them slowly back across your body, keeping your shoulders down and your torso still.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
