Steps

Step 1: To get into the starting position for the exercise, place pulleys in position above your head and select the resistance that will be used. Hold one pulley in each hand.
Step 2: Move forward in an imaginary straight line between the pulleys while pulling your arms together in front of you. You should be be slightly bent forward from your waist. This is the starting position for the exercise.
Step 3: Bend your elbows slightly and extend your arms to your sides in a wide arc. Continue performing this movement until you feel a stretch in your chest. Inhale while you do so. Tip: Keep in mind that throughout the movement, the arms and torso should remain stationary; the movement should only occur at the shoulder joint.
Step 4: Bring your arms back to the starting position as you exhale. Be sure to use the same arc you used to lower the weights.
Step 5: Hold your position for a second when you reach the starting position and repeat the movement for the desired number of reps.
