Execution:
1
Sit and adjust the seat so the pads are at chest height.
2
Place your forearms/elbows on the pads, shoulders down and back.
3
Bring your arms forward to close in on the chest, squeezing at the center.
4
Open back under control, feeling the stretch across the chest.
Tip: think about "hugging a barrel" — focus on the chest contraction, not pulling with the shoulders.
