How to do it

  1. Set the seat so the handles start level with your upper chest, then pick a weight.
  2. Sit with your back against the pad, chest up and shoulder blades gently pulled back.
  3. Press the handles up and forward until your arms are almost straight.
  4. Slowly lower the handles back near the start position.

Beginner tip: Keep your shoulders down, away from your ears, as you press.
