Instructions

1. Set the cable pulleys to the lowest level and attach handles to both sides.

2. Stand in the center of the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart, or with one foot slightly in front of the other for stability.

3. Grasp the handles with your palms facing down and your hands close together in front of you, at around waist level.

4. Slightly bend your knees, engage your core, and keep your back straight.

5. Exhale and push the handles straight out in front of you, ensuring that your hands stay close together throughout the movement.

6. Fully extend your arms, and squeeze your chest at the end of the motion.

7. Inhale and return the handles slowly back to the starting position, maintaining tension in your chest and arms.

8. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Make sure to adjust the weight according to your ability and maintain proper form throughout the exercise to minimize the risk of injury and maximize the effectiveness of the workout. If you experience any pain or discomfort, stop the exercise and consult with a fitness professional.
