Adjust the weight to an appropriate amount and be seated, grasping the handles. Your upper arms should be about 45 degrees to the body, with your head and chest up. The elbows should be bent to about 90 degrees. This will be your starting position.
Begin by extending through the elbow, pressing the handles together straight in front of you. Keep your shoulder blades retracted as you execute the movement.
After pausing at full extension, return to th starting position, keeping tension on the cables.
You can also execute this movement with your back off the pad, at an incline or decline, or alternate hands.

This exercise is really good to finish your chest workout! (Bench Press, Incline Machine Press) I prefer to do this exercise standing and twist my hand when performing a rep. I start with my palms facing inward and finish with my palms facing down.

This is a great lift! It's wonderful for working your chest without stressing your shoulders as much as cable or dumbbell chest lifts.
