Equipment
Sit on the machine with your feet flat on the ground, grasp the handles with an overhand grip and push the handles away to a full extension of your arms.
Slowly lower the handles back towards your chest, ensuring that you maintain control of the weight and keeping your back flat against the seat.
Once the handles are at chest level, push them back to the starting position while exhaling, making sure to keep your elbows slightly bent to avoid locking them.
Repeat this process for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to keep your movements slow and controlled throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Grip and Elbow Alignment**: Grasp the handles with a firm grip and ensure your elbows are directly under your wrists. Keeping your wrists directly above your elbows helps to target the chest muscles effectively and reduces the risk of wrist or shoulder injuries. **Controlled Movement**: Avoid the common mistake of using momentum or speed to lift the weight. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movements both while pushing and returning the handles. This will not only enhance muscle engagement but also minimize the risk of injury. **Breathing Technique**: Breathe out as you push the handles away and breathe in as you return to the starting position. Proper breathing is crucial for maintaining stamina and optimizing the effectiveness of the exercise. **Avoid Overloading**: Don't rush to lift heavy weights. Start
