Positioning
Adjust the Machine: Ensure the seat height is adjusted so that your feet can rest flat on the floor while your knees are slightly bent. The chest pad should rest comfortably against your chest.

Engage Your Core: Tighten your abdominal muscles and keep your shoulders down and back.
Pull the Handles: Begin the movement by pulling the handles towards your midsection. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you pull.
Control the Movement: Bring the handles towards you in a controlled manner until they are near your abdomen. Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.
