How to do it

Pulleys low, a step forward, torso leaning slightly ahead. Sweep up in an arc from your thighs until your hands meet at face height, elbows softly bent and fixed. You feel it in the upper chest: it is one of the few ways to load that area in the shortened position. The classic mistake is leaning back to help; if you need that, use less weight.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
