How to do it

  1. Set both pulleys high and hold a handle in each hand with your arms open wide.
  2. Step forward into a split stance and keep a soft bend in your elbows.
  3. Sweep your hands down and together in front of your hips.
  4. Return under control until you feel a stretch across your chest.

Coaching cues

  • Lock the elbow angle so the movement happens at the shoulder, not the elbow.
  • Lean slightly forward from the hips to keep the tension on your chest.
