VIDEO DEMO:

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. SETUP: Attach D-handles to low pulleys and take an overhand-grip of each side. Step forward to create tension in the cables, using a split-stance to provide support for your back. Keep your chest puffed and shoulders pinned back for good posture.
2. LIFT: Press the handles up overhead, notice I go in a high diagonal angle as opposed to directly up, stopping just shy of lockout at the top. Lower the weight with control towards your shoulders.
3. TIP: Drive your feet into the ground with each lift. This will allow you to brace your entire body and generate more power.
