How to set it up

2
Step forward into a stable split stance with a soft bend in the elbows.
3
Begin with the cables under tension and the shoulders in a comfortable position.

How the movement works

1
Sweep the handles forward and inward until the hands meet or nearly meet in front of the chest.
2
Open the arms along the same arc while keeping the torso quiet and the cables controlled.
