Set Up

1. 1Select your weight on the stack.
2. 2Adjust the seat so your upper arms line up comfortably with the elbow pads and the machine's pivot feels natural.
3. 3Sit back firmly against the pad and place your feet flat on the floor.
4. 4Position your upper arms and elbows against the pads and take hold of the grip bar.
5. 5Fasten the seatbelt if needed for extra stability during the set.

How to Use It

1. 1Start in the stretched position with your arms elevated and your chest tall.
2. 2Pull the movement down in an arc by driving your elbows toward your sides.
3. 3Squeeze your lats at the bottom without shrugging your shoulders.
4. 4Return the arms upward under control to the starting stretch.
5. 5Keep the movement smooth and controlled for the entire set.

Helpful Tips

• Keep your torso steady against the pad instead of rocking backward.
• Think about driving the elbows down rather than pulling with the hands.
• Use a full but comfortable range of motion.
• Do not let the stack slam between reps.
• Start lighter until the seat position and elbow-pad setup feel right.
