Instructions
Preparation
- Sit in machine with chest against pad. Grasp parallel handles
from inside with thumbs down at shoulder height.
Execution
- Keeping elbows pointed high, pull handles apart and to rear
until elbows are just behind back. Return and repeat.
Comments
- Pronated grip will internally rotate shoulders so elbows
are kept at height of shoulders.
- Preventing elbows from dropping below shoulders will minimize
Latissimus Dorsi
involvement. With thumbs down
grip, shoulder must be deliberately internally rotated to
keep elbow at proper height. Some machines allow for a more neutral
overhand grip.
