How to do it
5 stepsSet the seat height so the handles start level with your upper chest, then sit with your back flat against the pad.
Pull your shoulder blades together and keep your gaze straight ahead. Grip the handles with your wrists stacked over your forearms.
Exhale and press the handles up and forward by straightening your elbows.
Hold the end position for a second without letting your shoulders roll up toward your ears.
Inhale and lower the handles under control, stopping just short of letting the weight stack rest so your chest stays under tension. Repeat for the planned reps.
If your lower back lifts off the pad, drop the load a little and keep your hips planted.
Lower the seat slightly to bring the work lower on the chest, or raise it to shift more toward the shoulders.
