HOW TO PERFORM
- Sit in the machine with the back flat against the pad and set the seat so the handles line up with the lower chest.
- Take the handles with the shoulder blades pulled back into the pad.
- Press down and forward until the arms are extended, without letting the shoulders roll forward.
- Return under control to a comfortable stretch.
FORM TIPS
- Keep the back on the pad rather than leaning forward to finish the rep.
