Grasp both handles while in an upright standing position.
With your arms slightly bent at the elbows pull the weight in front of your chest. Before you return your arms to the starting position, give one final push forward so that you completely extend your arms straight in front of you. Then, return back to the start position and perform movement for the desired number of repetitions.
DO
DON'T
Lower the weight in a controlled manner
Control the weight at all times by doing the exercise in a smooth and fluid motion
Don't hunch your back
Don't let the weight pull your arms up too high
Don't jerk the weight on the way down as this may result in shoulder injury
SPECIAL NOTES & LEVEL of DIFFICULTY VARIATIONS
To increase the level of difficulty, either slow down the motion or increase the weight
This exercise may look a bit awkward at first, but once you get the movement down you will notice it's benefits. Namely, this exercise is great for carving out that inner chest line between your pecs that gives you the much-coveted chiseled look.
Thus, do a few practice repetitions with a very light weight until you get the hang of the proper movement mechanics.
