Instructions
Preparation
Lie chest low on inclined platform and grasp forward lever handles with wide overhand grip.
Execution
Pull lever with elbows forward out to sides until upper arms are just beyond parallel, keeping upper arm perpendicular to torso. Return and repeat.
Comments
If upper arm travels closer than perpendicular to trunk, latissimus dorsi becomes involved. Elbows should be kept on same movement plane as shoulders. Much lighter resistance is required as Lever Incline Row.
