Removed

Success Tips

Lift your chest, keep your knees bent and feet on Standing Platform.

Keep your spine aligned and a slight arch in your lower back.

Maintain a 90° angle between forearms and torso throughout exercise.

Do not rotate the spine to get additional range of motion.

START

Grasp the Hand Grip nearest you in the hand closest to the Power Rod® unit, and draw your upper arm into your torso. Keep your elbow bent and your forearm at a 90° angle from your torso.

Give yourself enough distance to eliminate slack in the cable.

Use a light resistance.—this is not a powerful movement.

ACTION

Rotate your forearm toward your abdomen, keeping your elbow at your side throughout motion.

Slowly return to the start position, maintaining slow, controlled motion.
