How to do it

  1. Adjust the seat so the handles line up with the middle of your chest, then sit back against the pad.
  2. Grip the handles; each arm moves on its own, so you can press both together or one at a time.
  3. Press forward until your arms are straight, then return slowly until you feel a stretch in your chest.
  4. Keep your back flat on the pad and don't let your torso twist, especially when pressing with one arm.

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