How to do it
- Adjust the seat so the handles start at about the height of your lower chest.
- Sit or lie with your back flat against the pad, plant your feet and grip the handles.
- Press the handles down and forward until your arms are straight, without slamming your elbows into lockout.
- Return slowly until you feel a stretch in your lower chest, keeping your shoulder blades on the pad.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
