Attach the individual handles to each side and adjust so that the handle on one side is at shoulder height and the opposite side is two holes lower. While facing the machine, grab the right side with your left hand and the left side with your right hand, using a pronated (palms facing the floor throughout the movement) grip. With your elbows and knees slightly bent, head fixated straight ahead, pull the handles out and back in an arc motion, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Don’t allow your elbows to drop from the start height. Slowly return to the start position and repeat.
