Movement instructions

1
To move into the starting position, place the pulleys at the low position, select the resistance to be used and grasp a handle in each hand.
2
Step forward, gaining tension in the pulleys. Your palms should be facing forward, hands below the waist, and your arms straight. This will be your starting position.
3
With a slight bend in your arms, draw your hands upward and toward the midline of your body. Your hands should come together in front of your chest, palms facing up.
4
Return your arms back to the starting position after a brief pause.

Technique guidance

Inhale during the controlled lowering phase and exhale as you press away. Avoid holding your breath unintentionally.

Use a stable setup and a load or resistance you can control through a comfortable range.
Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or feel unwell.
Check that the attachment, pin, and cable are secure before applying resistance.
