EXERCISE INSTRUCTION

  1. The legs should be spread wider, since the entire load will fall on them and on the back.
  2. The movement begins on exhalation and follows the trajectory directed by the simulator. Jerks and sudden movements are not welcome.
  3. The elbows are directed to the sides when pressing. You do not need to press them to the body.
  4. The arms at the endpoint of the amplitude do not need to be fully straightened at the elbows, since then the load is transferred to the elbow joints, which is a very traumatic movement.
  5. It is best to pause for a second at the extreme point of the amplitude.
  6. On the return movement, you need to take a breath. The movement should be slow and smooth. Levers must not be thrown.

NOTE:To begin with, the athlete must adjust the simulator by adjusting the seat to his height. Then take a sitting position, fully pressed against the back of the bench. The athlete should bring the shoulder blades together and open the chest.
