How to Perform This Exericse:

There are a number of different apparatus’ for this exercise.  We’ll assume the standard model with a chest pad, with the person in the prone position (As if firing a gun laying down).

1) Start with your thumbs shoulder width apart on the grips perpendicular to your body.

2) With your elbows perpendicular to your body, and beginning from the most extended arms possible, pull the weight up as far as is possible.

3) Imagine driving your chest into the pad, and once at the top position, release the weight slowly back to the start position.

Notes:
Remember to keep your arms perpendicular (A 90 degree angle) to your chest.  Never take your chest off of the pad, and don’t use momentum to pull it back.  Full extension and contraction.
