How to do it

Keep your wrists stacked directly over your forearms throughout.

  1. 1

    Sit on the leverage machine with your back flat against the pad.

  2. 2

    Grasp the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).

  3. 3

    Press the handles upward until your arms are fully extended but not locked.

  4. 4

    Lower the handles back to the starting position in a controlled manner.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Ensure proper seat adjustment and keep your back flat against the pad to prevent excessive arching of your lower back.
