How to do it
Set the seat so the handles are at chest height and press the shoulders back against the pad. Bring the arms together in front of the chest, squeeze for a beat in the middle, then let them open until you feel a stretch — no further. Keep the shoulders retracted against the pad rather than letting them round forward at the stretch.
