Muscles at work
Make every rep count.
- 01
Set both cable pulleys at shoulder height (or slightly above) and choose a weight you can control.
- 02
Grab the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing in) and step forward into a split stance for stability. Brace your core and keep your chest tall.
- 03
With a slight bend in your elbows (don’t lock them out), bring the handles together in front of your mid‑chest, squeezing your pecs.
- 04
Slowly reverse the motion, letting your arms open wide under control until you feel a comfortable chest stretch. Keep the movement at the shoulders—don’t turn it into an elbow press.
- 05
Drive the handles back together at chest height, exhaling as you squeeze, then repeat for your target reps.
- 06
Form tips: Keep shoulders down and back, avoid leaning or shrugging, and stop the stretch before your shoulders roll forward.
