Make every rep count.

  1. 01

    Adjust the seat so the handles line up comfortably with your elbows, then sit tall with your back supported.

  2. 02

    Grab the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) and keep your elbows tucked close to your sides.

  3. 03

    Brace your core and exhale as you extend your elbows, pressing the handles out until your arms are straight—don’t lock out hard.

  4. 04

    Pause briefly, then slowly return to the start under control. Avoid letting your shoulders roll forward or using momentum.

  5. 05

    Repeat for your target reps with smooth, controlled tempo.
