How to do it

  1. Place a flat bench in the middle between two low cable pulleys, take a handle in each hand and lie back.
  2. Open your arms out to the sides at chest level with a slight bend in your elbows.
  3. Bring your hands up in a wide arc until they meet above your chest.
  4. Lower your arms slowly back out to the start.

Beginner tip: Keep the same elbow bend throughout, like hugging a big tree.
