How to do it

  1. Adjust the seat and thigh pad so you're locked in and can just reach the handles with straight arms.
  2. Grab the handles up in front of you and let your shoulders stretch upward.
  3. Pull the handles down and back toward your chest, driving your elbows down to your sides.
  4. Return slowly until your arms are fully extended again.
  5. Keep your chest up and torso still; each arm moves on its own, so pull both sides evenly.

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