Upper arms on the pad
Starting position
Sit in the machine with your feet on the floor, upper arms on the pad and hands on the handles, palms facing up.

Bend your elbows and bring the handles toward your shoulders, pause briefly and lower until your arms are almost straight.
Most common mistake
Don't lift your upper arms off the pad, keep them still and bend only at your elbows.
