How to perform it

Set cable pulleys at a height that aligns with your desired chest fiber emphasis (e.g., shoulder height for mid-chest, lower for upper chest).
Maintain a slight, consistent bend in your elbows throughout the entire movement.
Initiate the movement by squeezing your chest, bringing your hands together in a wide arc.
Focus on a strong contraction of the pectorals at the peak of the movement.
Control the eccentric (return) phase, allowing a good stretch in the chest.

Common mistakes

Skip or adapt this movement if any of these apply — and check with a professional when in doubt.
