Pull the shoulders back and down. Press the hands forward against the handles to feel the weight on the arms. Engage the muscles in the back of your arms and the chest
2‹Þ
Extend the arms. Push the hands forward away from the body. Keep pulling the shoulder blades back in the same time
End Position
Extend the arms until they are straight but not locked out. Keep pulling the shoulder blades back and down. At the same time pull the arms towards each other with the chest. Hold this position for a moment

Bend the arms again. Bring the hands back towards the chest. Keep the elbows low, shoulder blades pulled back and down.
