How to do it
- Adjust the seat so your shoulders line up with the machine's pivot, and fasten the belt if there is one.
- Put your elbows against the pads, hold the bar lightly, and let your arms travel back overhead for a stretch.
- Drive your elbows down and forward in an arc until the bar reaches your stomach.
- Return slowly to the stretched position.
- Push with your elbows rather than your hands, and keep your lower back against the seat.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
