How to do it

  1. Attach the handles to the cables and lie flat on a bench with your feet flat on the ground.
  2. Hold the handles with your palms facing each other and your arms extended straight above your chest.
  3. Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, lower your arms out to the sides in a wide arc until you feel a stretch in your chest.
  4. Pause for a moment, then squeeze your chest muscles to bring your arms back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
