Before your first rep

  • Seat set so the handles are level with your chest.
  • Set the starting width so you feel a mild stretch, not a strain, at the open position.

The movement

  1. 1Set the seat so the handles are level with your chest and grip them with a slight elbow bend.
  2. 2Bring your arms together in front of your chest, squeezing at the middle.
  3. 3Open slowly until you feel a stretch, but not a strain.

Watch out for

Pinching at the front of the shoulder means you are opening too far. Reduce the starting width.

No history for this one yet. Start lighter than you think you need — you should finish every set feeling like you had four or five more reps in you. You can always add weight next session; a strain costs you weeks.

Set the pin low for your first set and add from there. Nothing is lost by starting too light on day one.
