Stand in the middle of the cable machine, grab a handle in each hand, and step forward to create tension on the cables, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart.
Bend slightly at your knees and lean forward a bit at your waist, keeping your back straight.
With your elbows slightly bent, lift your arms out to the sides and up until they are at chest level, forming a wide arc, and squeeze your chest muscles at the top of the movement.
Slowly lower your arms back down to the starting position, maintaining the slight bend in your elbows, and repeat the movement for your desired number of repetitions.

Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to swing the weights, as this can risk injury and reduces the work your muscles are doing. Instead, focus on squeezing your chest muscles as you bring the cables together and resist the pull of the weights as you return to the starting position. Choose Appropriate Weight: One common mistake is using too much weight, which can lead to improper form and potential injury. Start with a lower weight to ensure you can perform the exercise with
