Instructions
Preparation
Place seat at low position. Sit on seat with chest against pad and grasp upper handles.
Execution
Pull lever with elbows up out to sides until upper arms are just beyond parallel, keeping upper arm horizontal, perpendicular to torso. Return and repeat.
Comments
If upper arm travels closer than perpendicular to trunk, latissimus dorsi becomes involved. Elbows should be kept same height as shoulders. Much lighter resistance is required as Lever Seated Row or even Wide Grip Lever Seated Row. Movement can be performed on more commonly found plate loaded seated rowing machine.
