Instructions
Preparation
- Place seat at low position. Sit on seat with chest against pad and grasp upper handles.
Execution
- Pull lever with elbows up out to sides until upper arms are just beyond parallel, keeping upper arm horizontal, perpendicular to torso. Return and repeat.
Comments
- If upper arm travels closer than perpendicular to trunk, latissimus dorsi becomes involved. Elbows should be kept same height as shoulders. Also see exercise performed on alternative lever row machine. Much lighter resistance is required as compared to Lever Seated Row.
