How to do it
- Adjust the seat and thigh pads so you're locked in and can just reach the handles with straight arms.
- Grab the handles and start each rep by pulling your shoulders down away from your ears.
- Pull the handles down toward your upper chest, driving your elbows down to your sides.
- Let the handles rise slowly until your arms are straight overhead.
- Keep your chest up and your torso still instead of leaning back to move the weight.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
