Muscles Exercised: Deltoids & Triceps
Setup
Load the unit with desired amount of weight to ensure appropriate resistance and secure plates with retaining pin. Seat should be adjusted to allow handles to be at or slightly above top of shoulders, depending on the shoulder comfort. Position body with head up, chest up, and shoulders against the back pad.
Performing the Exercise
With a controlled motion, extend the handles up until the arms are fully extended. Return the handles to the start position and repeat the motion while maintaining proper body positioning.
TIP: Focus on extending your elbows as opposed to pressing your arms up. This increases the mental concentration on the Deltoid muscles.
