Shoulder Press 4000 - ERGO-FIT Power Line 4000 Owner's Manual

7.5.2.2
1. Adopt the right exercise position: Sit on the seat so that your upper body touches
the backrest completely. Place your feet about shoulder width apart. Grasp the
handlebars with your hands. Your palms show forwards. Bend your elbows at a
right angle. Your forearms touch the inside of the arm pads (also see Chapter
5.4).
2. Now contract your torso muscles, extend your arms upwards against the
resistance of the machine until your elbow joints are almost completely straight.
Make sure not to hyperextend your elbow joints. This may lead to injuries and
joint arthrosis in the long term. Breathe out when you exert strain against the
resistance. Maintain this position momentarily
3. Now bend your elbows and return the handles, making sure to maintain control.
Stop the return motion when the upper arms are in line with the axis of your
shoulders. Breathe in during the return sequence.
