EXERCISE INSTRUCTION
- Determine and set the required load on the exercise equipment. Take a place between the handles, that is, in the middle of the working elements.
- Grasp the upper holders in a way that is comfortable for you, exhaling, perform a small squat. The gaze is directed forward, the body and head should be straight.
- Straighten your knees and hips with your heels on the bottom plane. When performing movements, watch your arms – they should remain straight, and behind your shoulders – they, in turn, should be lowered. Thus, you will take the starting position.
- Shrugging your shoulders, begin to pull the existing weight. Try, as if lifting your shoulders up, to reach your ears with them.
- Be sure to make a short stop in the upper phase of the movement, then return the weight to the starting position.
