210 Chest Press/Rowing
On this machine, all dorsal muscle groups of the shoulder girdle, the arm flexor muscles and the back
muscles in the area of the thoracic spine are trained during the rowing movement, which ensure that
the spine is straightened.
When performing the chest press movement, the chest and arm extension muscles are trained.
Specific patient positioning
Adjust the saddle seat according to body height so that a semi-standing sitting position is achieved.
Place the feet symmetrically using the ground marks.
Straighten and actively stabilize the upper body by stabilizing over the feet and by tensing the back and
abdominal muscles. Firmly grasp the handles at chest level.
Move the arms back and forth in a harmonious movement. In the push phase do not push the elbows
through completely. Keep the elbows parallel to the side of
the
body (or slightly raised as a variation).
Ensure that the shoulders remain in a neutral position throughout the movement. To stabilize the
shoulder girdle, pull the shoulder blades back and down by actively using the muscles. If necessary,
reduce the range of motion in the pulling phase or change the placement of the hands.
