The Positioning
•
Adjust the seat to align the horizontal handles
with the top of the shoulders.
•
Adjust the chest pad to allow both hands to reach
the handles while protracting. Moving into the
"chest up" erect posture should then allow full
motion.
•
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.
The Motion - The Row
•
Grip the lower end of the vertical or parallel
handles.
•
Retract the scapula (pinch the shoulder blades
back and together).
•
While maintaining the scapular position and the
chest on the pad, bring the arms to your sides.
•
Slowly return to the starting position without
resting.
•
If the scapular position changes, reset the scapula
refraction at the beginning of each repetition.
The Motion - The Rear Delt
•
Grip the horizontal handles.
•
Retract the scapula (pinch the shoulder blades back and together) and maintain.
•
Bring the elbows back as far as possible, keeping them at shoulder level. "Lead with the
elbows" to decrease elbow flexor involvement.
•
Slowly return to the starting position without resting, maintaining scapular retraction.
