Instructions
Proper Position
- Set the cable cross machine to a high pulley position (above your head).
- Place a decline bench (about 30-45 degrees) between the two pulleys.
- Lie back on the bench, with your feet secured under the supports for stability, and grab the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
- Extend your arms in front of you, slightly bent at the elbows, aligning the handles above your chest.
Movement
- Slowly open your arms in an arcing motion, guiding them outward and slightly downward, until they are aligned with or slightly below your torso.
- Focus on stretching your chest while maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.
- Bring the handles back to the starting position by contracting your chest, following the same arcing motion.
- Maintain control throughout the movement to avoid jerky motions.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Breathing
- Inhale as you open your arms.
- Exhale as you bring the handles back to the starting position.
