Instructions

  1. Using an overhand grip, take the D-handle and attach it to the rope machine. Place the setting at chest level.
  2. Stand with the machine on your side, feet shoulder-width apart and grab the handle with both hands. The knees should be slightly bent. While holding the strap on your chest, make sure that the cable is taut.
  3. Prepare the body and slowly extend your arms in front of you until they are completely straight. Pause and reverse direction to return to starting position.

Tips

  • Tighten your abs and glutes as you move to keep your body stable.
  • Don't let your body rotate as you press the cable in front of your torso.
  • Hold the handle in front of your torso and use your abs to resist any movement.
