Instructions Preparation Grasp two opposing high pulley dumbbell attachments. Lie supine on decline bench, in middle and perpendicular to both pulleys. Slightly bend elbows and internally rotate shoulders so elbows are back. Execution Bring cable stirrups together above upper abdomen in hugging motion; elbows in fixed position and shoulders internally rotated so elbows are to sides. Return to starting position until chest is slightly stretched. Repeat. Comments Since incline of bench does not actually effect angle of pull as with dumbbells, similar effect can be achieved on flat bench if cable stirrups are brought together above upper abdomen instead of chest.
