How to do it
- Set up. Set a cable or band at chest height. Stand side-on to it, feet hip-width apart, holding the handle with both hands against your chest.
- Move. Brace your middle and press the handle straight out in front of you. Don't let the cable pull you round; your hips and shoulders stay square.
- Finish. Hold for a second, bring the handle back to your chest under control, then finish your reps and switch sides.
Common mistakes
- Standing too close to the anchor.
- Letting the band twist you.
- Locking the knees.
