2. Adjust the height of the cables so that the handles are in line with your chest.
3. Grab the handles with an overhand grip and extend your arms straight out in front of you at chest level.
4. Engage your core and press the handles forward until your arms are fully extended in front of you.
5. Pause for a moment at the fully extended position, then slowly release the handles back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. Be sure to keep your back flat against the bench and maintain a controlled movement throughout the exercise to avoid injury.
