Make every rep count.
- 01
Sit facing the machine with your chest firmly against the pad and the handles set in front of your torso.
- 02
Reach forward and grab the handles with either a neutral (thumbs up) or pronated (palms down) grip.
- 03
Brace your core, keep a soft bend in the elbows, and pull the handles out and back in a wide arc. Think “shoulder blades back and down” as you squeeze your rear delts.
- 04
Stop when your arms are roughly in line with your shoulders—don’t shrug or over-arch your lower back.
- 05
Control the return as the handles come back to the start, keeping tension on the rear delts, then repeat for your reps.
