Upper Arm Muscles - ERGO-FIT Power Line 4000 Owner's Manual

POWER LINE 4000
2. Now contract your torso muscles, extend your arms forwards against the
resistance of the machine until your elbows are almost completely extended.
Make sure not to hyperextend your elbows. This may lead to injuries and
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. When you have finished the
training sequence, kick the easy entry feature again with your foot. Now release
the handles and return them to the start position.
Exercise variations:
Choose a different handlebar position so that your palms are facing each other.
⊗
Continue the exercise exactly as described above. With this variation, you can
increase the effect on the triceps brachii.
⊗ Vary the angle between your arm and torso (modify the height of the seat) 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 diagonally and upwards)
focuses on the upper muscle area. An angle of less than 90° (arm extended
downwards) increases the stress on the lower part.
