Preparation
- Positon seat so shoulders are the same height of padded lever. Sit in machine and place arms over lever pad. Push padded lever down slightly until shoulder is fixed at approximately 90º or slightly greater.
Execution
- With the hips stationary, flex the waist in a "C" shape so the elbows point downward. Return and repeat.
