Muscles Worked:

Bench Position:

Horizontal

Accessory:

Handgrips

Pulleys:

Chest Bar

Success Tips

•Keep your chest lifted, shoulders pinched, abs tight, and a slight arch in your lower back.

•This exercise must be performed cor- rectly—failure to do so could result in injury. Use only low weight Rods.

•Keep all motion in your torso.

•Move only as far as your muscles will take you—do not use momentum to increase your range of motion.

START

Start

•Sit sideways on the Bench, one side toward the Power Rod® unit.

•Grasp the Handgrip closest to you with both hands.

•Raise both arms up near shoulder level, hands extended over the leg closest to the Power Rod® unit.

•Keep your elbows slightly bent.

FINISH

Action

•Tighten your entire abdom- inal area, and slowly rotate your rib cage and arms away from the Power Rod® unit

30-40o, as if you were rotating with a rod through the middle of your spine.

•Slowly reverse the motion, returning to the Start posi- tion without relaxing muscle tension.
