Step by step
- Set the chest pad so it sits across your upper chest with your shoulders just above the handle position.
- Grip both neutral handles with palms facing each other and let your arms hang fully extended.
- Brace your core and press your chest firmly into the pad to lock your torso in place.
- Pull the handles toward your ribs by driving the elbows back and squeezing the shoulder blades together.
- Pause at the top of the pull with the elbows behind the body, feeling the mid-back contract hard.
- Lower the handles slowly over 2 to 3 seconds back to a full stretch, then repeat without losing chest contact.
