How to do it

  1. 1

    Sit down and set the thigh pad so your legs are locked in snugly.

  2. 2

    Grab a handle in each hand, a little wider than your shoulders, with your arms straight overhead.

  3. 3

    Lean back slightly and tighten your core.

  4. 4

    Breathe out as you pull the handles down to your shoulders. Think about pulling your elbows down toward your back pockets.

  5. 5

    Breathe in as you let them go back up slowly until your arms are straight.

Where you should feel it: lats (sides of your back), not mainly your arms.
