That to me is the biggest secret of any muscle, finding its origin and attachment point......starting off with as much space between them as possible, and then shortening the distance while contracting the muscle!
yup! been doing this movement on the cable machine. it does seem like a scooping motion. I step forward a bit to keep tension on my chest and than scoop from my side and just about eye level at the top and I squeeze. after just doing one set you can totally feel your upper chest pumping
