Stand up straight facing the cable machine.
Ensure the cable attachments are at the highest point.
You do not need a handle attachment on the cables.
The cables will cross for this exercise, so reach up and grasp the right cable in the left hand, and the left cable in the right hand.
Step back to the centre of the pulley machine.
You should be stood in the middle of the pull-up bar, if there is one.
Hold your hands up just above head height with your palms facing diagonally down and in.
Take a large step backwards and keep your elbows soft.
Next, pull your shoulder blades back towards each other and keep your neck long.
Keeping your neck, shoulder blades and elbows in the same position, pull your arms out to the side.
Keep your elbows up.
They should not drop down towards your sides.
Control the movement as you return your hands to the front centre, and repeat.
