Before you start, adjust the seat height so that the handles are about level with your chest when you're sitting on the machine.
Select the weight you want to use on the stack.
Sit on the machine, grasp the handles and/or place your forearms on the padding. Take the weight off the stack slightly. This is the starting position for the exercise.
Keeping your body fixed, moving entirely at the shoulder, slowly bring the handles together.
Squeeze the chest muscles as hard as you can, then slowly lower back to the starting position.
