Step by step
- Position a flat bench between two cable stations and set both pulleys to the lowest position with single handles.
- Lie back on the bench and press both handles up over your chest with a slight bend in your elbows.
- Lower the handles out to your sides in a wide arc, keeping the elbow angle locked the whole way down.
- Stop when your hands are roughly level with your shoulders and you feel a deep stretch across the chest.
- Bring the handles back together in the same arc by squeezing the chest, finishing with the hands meeting above you.
- Pause at the top with a hard chest squeeze, then repeat for 10 to 15 controlled reps.
