The Positioning
• Adjust the seat to allow the handles to align with
the upper chest. This allows movement through the
proper plane.
• Adjust the starting position (pull pin found over-
head) to allow the upper arm to be straight out to
the side when the hands are positioned on the
handles.
• Check the weight to insure that the appropriate
resistance has been selected. Body position and
control of the motion should never be compro-
mised by excessive weight.
• Grip the handles and position the elbows out to
the side, level with the handles.
• Fully retract the scapula and maintain on all
movements for the chest.
The Motion
IMPORTANT NOTE:
is most effective and most comfortable when the fol-
lowing cues are given. These brief instructions, when
properly given, improve the motor learning process, which is the key to the safe and effective
performance of ANY exercise. After only a few repetitions of each with a light weight the
movement will be mastered.
The Basic Press
• Press the handles forward with a smooth controlled motion and return slowly without
resting, keeping the elbows level with the handles and shoulder blades pinched throughout
each repetition.
The Adduction
• While in the fully pressed position with the arms straight, move the handles directly toward
each other.
• Keeping the arms straight, slowly return the handles to the wide position without resting.
