How to perform

  1. 1

    Sit on the machine with your back flat on the pad.

  2. 2

    Take hold of the handles. Tip: Your upper arms should be positioned parallel to the floor; adjust the machine accordingly. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Push the handles together slowly as you squeeze your chest in the middle. Breathe out during this part of the motion and hold the contraction for a second.

  4. 4

    Return back to the starting position slowly as you inhale until your chest muscles are fully stretched.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Important tips

  • Squeeze your chest at the top of every rep.

  • Keep your elbows on a steady path — no mid-rep flaring.

  • Lower under control — the eccentric builds the muscle.
