Instructions
Preparation
- Grasp two opposing high pulley dumbbell attachments. Stand
with pulleys to each side. Bend over slightly by flexing hips
and knees. Bend elbows slightly and internally rotate shoulders
so elbows are back initially.
Execution
- Bring cable attachments together in hugging motion with elbows
in fixed position. Keep shoulders internally rotated so elbows
are pointed upward at top and out to sides at bottom. Return
to starting position until chest muscles are stretched. Repeat.
Comments
- Under greater resistance, positioning torso at lower angle
downward (by bending over at hips), will allow upper body weight
to counterbalance upward pull of cables, as opposed to stepping
forward and struggling with the backward pull of cables.
