How to do it

  1. Adjust the seat so the handles start at about the height of your upper chest.
  2. Sit with your back flat against the angled pad, feet on the floor, and grip the handles.
  3. Press the handles up and forward until your arms are straight.
  4. Lower them slowly until you feel a stretch in your upper 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.
