Triceps Extension 4000 - ERGO-FIT Power Line 4000 Owner's Manual

POWER LINE 4000
7.5.4.2 TRICEPS EXTENSION
Start position
1. Adopt the right exercise position: Sit on the seat so that your upper body touches
the back pad. Place your feet about shoulder width apart. Rest your upper arms
on the arm pads. Grasp the handlebars with your hands. Your palms are facing
each other. Your elbows should be at the height of the machine's rotation axis
and your forearms should be vertical (also see Chapter 5.4).
2. Now contract your torso muscles, and stretch your arms against the resistance
of the machine. Move your forearms downwards in a semicircular curve. The
motion originates from the elbow joints only and should stop when your forearms
are extended. Make sure not to hyperextend your elbow joints as this increases
the stress on your elbows. 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 once your forearms are vertical. Breathe in during the
return sequence.
