How to do it

  1. Adjust the seat so the handles start near the top of your shoulders, and load a weight that suits you.
  2. Sit tall with your chest up and hold the handles with palms facing forward.
  3. Press the handles up until your arms are almost straight.
  4. Lower slowly to just above the start, then press again.

Beginner tip: Lower slowly and stop just before the weight touches down.
