Instructions
Set Up:
Position the cable machine's pulleys at a high setting.
Adjust the weight according to your fitness level.
Sit on a flat bench in the middle of the cable machine.
Starting Position:
Lie back on the bench. Your head, shoulders, and back should be supported.
Grasp the handles attached to the cables, one in each hand, with palms facing forward.
Extend your arms straight up above your chest, slightly bent at the elbows.
Execution:
Slowly lower your arms out to the sides in a wide arc until you feel a stretch in your chest. Keep your elbows slightly bent throughout.
Ensure that your shoulders remain relaxed and away from your ears.
Once you reach a comfortable stretch, reverse the movement by bringing your arms back together above your chest in a controlled manner.
Repetitions:
Perform 10-15 repetitions for 2-3 sets, resting for 30-60 seconds between sets.
Breathing:
Inhale as you lower your arms and exhale as you bring your arms back together.
Tips:
Focus on the chest muscles during the movement.
Avoid locking your elbows at the top.
Maintain control of the weights throughout the exercise to prevent injury.
