Instructions
1. Set up a flat bench in the center between two cable towers. Ensure the pulleys are set to a low position.
2. Attach a handle to each cable.
3. Lie back on the bench with your feet flat on the floor for stability.
4. Grab the cable handles with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) and hold them at chest level with your elbows bent and slightly below your shoulders.
5. Press the handles upward and toward the midline of your body by extending your elbows until your arms are straight, but not locked out.
6. Pause at the top of the movement for a moment to squeeze your chest muscles.
7. Slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, controlling the weight as you allow your chest and shoulder muscles to stretch.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Make sure to adjust the weight to your fitness level, maintain proper form throughout the exercise, and avoid locking out your elbows to prevent unnecessary stress on the joints.
