How to perform it

  1. Move the cables to the bottom of the towers and select an appropriate weight.
  2. Stand directly in between the uprights. Grasp the cables and hold them at shoulder height, palms facing forward. This will be your starting position.
  3. Keeping your head and chest up, extend through the elbow to press the handles directly over head.
  4. After pausing at the top, return to the starting position and repeat.
