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

Stop the return motion when the upper arms are in line with the axis of your
shoulders. Breathe in during the return sequence.
Exercise variations:
⊗ Vary the angle between your arm and torso (adjust the height of the handlebars)
to work different areas of the chest muscles individually. When choosing an
angle of 90°, the middle part of the chest muscles will be targeted with increased
intensity, while an angle exceeding 90° (arm extended diagonal and upwards)
focuses on the upper muscle area. An angle of less than 90° (arm extended
downwards) increases the stress on the lower part.
