BACK PULL 4000
1.
Adopt the right exercise position. Sit on the seat. Your upper body (back straight)
leans on the chest padding. Place your feet on the footrests (feet about shoulder
width apart) and grasp the lateral handlebars with your hands (see also Chapter
5.4).
2.
Now contract the torso muscles and press your straight upper body backwards
against the backpad until you are sitting upright. Make sure not to hyperextend your
upper body and to keep your pelvis in a stable position. Breathe out when you exert
strain against the resistance. Maintain this position momentarily.
3.
Now lower your upper body forwards again, making sure to maintain control. Stop
the return motion in time so that your torso does not sag downwards. Breathe in
during the return sequence.
