How to do it
- Stand between two low pulleys with a flat bench behind you, end on. Take the left handle in your right hand and the right handle in your left, so the cables cross.
- Sit on the end of the bench with your feet in front of your knees and bend forward until your torso rests on your thighs. Let your arms hang with the palms facing each other and a slight bend at the elbows, the cables running under your knees. This will be your starting position.
- Raise your upper arms out to the sides until they are parallel to the floor, keeping the bend in the elbows fixed. Exhale and hold the contraction for a second.
- Lower your arms slowly to the starting position as you inhale, and repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
