How to perform this exercise
- Adjust the seat height of the machine so your upper arms and elbows lie flat on the pad. Draw your abs in and sit upright with your back straight. With your arms fully extended grasp the handles and pull them towards your body. Hold for a moment and then slowly return to the starting position.
Use a controlled range of motion and a load you can manage. Stop if a movement causes pain. Ask a qualified coach for help with unfamiliar exercises.
