Keep the movement slow, about 1.5 to 2 seconds in each direction. On the way down do not let the weight stack touch, but stop just before and then go into the next repetition. Do not lock your elbows on the way out. Pick a weight that challenges you but that you can keep perfect technique throughout. Exercise description by Hugo Saner. (less)

When your hands meet directly in front of your midsection, squeeze the muscles and then slowly return to the starting position. Your elbows should stay in the same slightly bent position the whole time. Do not walk out too far in front of the pulley system or bend over too much!
