How to Perform
- 01Adjust the seat so the handles are at shoulder-to-chest height.
- 02With slightly bent arms, bring the handles together in front of you.
- 03Squeeze your chest for a second at the front, then open under control until you feel a stretch.
Form Tips
- Keep your back on the pad; the movement comes only from the shoulder joint.
- Do not open too far back; it strains the shoulder capsule.
