Position

Stand in the middle of a cable machine with the pulleys set at shoulder height, holding a handle in each hand.

Movement

• Step forward with one foot to create tension in the cables and bring your hands together in front of your chest.
• Maintain a slight bend in your elbows and open your arms out to the sides in a controlled motion.
• Squeeze your chest muscles at the end of the movement before returning to the starting position.

Breathing

Exhale as you bring your hands together and inhale as you return to the starting position.

Tips

• Keep your core engaged and maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
• Focus on using your chest muscles to perform the exercise and avoid using momentum.
• Use a controlled motion and avoid locking out your elbows at the end of the movement.
