Tips

  1. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and hold for a count of 1-2 at the top of the movement for the best results.

Instructions

  1. Set an incline bench to around a 45 degree angle and position the bench with the highest end facing the cable pulley machine.
  2. Attach a straight bar to the lower pulley and set the weight you want to use on the stack.
  3. Grasp the bar and position yourself with your chest on the bench, feet on the floor, and hands gripping the bar with an overhand grip around should width apart. This is the starting position.
  4. Slowly pull the bar in towards your lower chest as far as possible without hitting the incline bench.
  5. Pause, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for desired reps.
