Move the mouse over the yellow indicated area to see a detailed view of the muscles

Instruction

Select your weight. Adjust seat and back rest. Sit in machine and adjust arm pads. Grip handholds so that elbows are resting on the pads and upper arms and forearms are at a right angle. Using elbows, press pads sideways and up. Hold position briefly. Slowly return to starting position without letting the weights touch down. Repeat until a full movement is no longer possible.
The lever arm angle can be varied. The wider the angle the smaller the load on the shoulder joint and the greater the range of motion. At the smallest angle, your upper arms should not go beyond horizontal.

Important: Do not raise shoulders.
