How to do it

  1. Adjust the seat so the handles are at shoulder height, then sit facing the pad with your chest against it.
  2. Grip the handles with your arms straight out in front of you and a slight bend in your elbows.
  3. Sweep your arms out wide in an arc until they're in line with your body, without pinching your shoulder blades together.
  4. Return slowly to the front without letting the weight stack touch down, keeping your chest on the pad.

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