Muscles Exercised – Pectoralis Major
Setup
Adjust seat height so that elbows are slightly below shoulders when
hands are placed on the handles. Adjust the start position with the range
of motion adjustment. With hands placed on grips - sit with chest up and
shoulders back – and slowly push hands together while keeping your
shoulders placed against the back pad.
Performing the Exercise
With a controlled motion, rotate the handles to the front position and bring
handles together. Repeat the motion, while maintaining proper body
positioning.
TIP: While performing the exercise, think about squeezing the hands toward
each other as opposed to pulling on each exercise arm. This will increase the
mental concentration on the Pectoralis Major.
