210 Chest Press/Rowing Vertical
On this machine, the dorsal muscle groups of the shoulder girdle, the arm flexor muscles and the
posture-stabilizing back muscles in the area of the thoracic and lumbar spine are trained in particular
during the upward rowing movement.
When performing the downward chest press movement, the chest and arm extension muscles as well as
stabilizing muscles of the shoulder girdle are trained in particular.
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. Tilt the upper body slightly forward with the back
straight and grasp the handles symmetrically with firm wrists. Actively stabilize this body position by
consciously tensing the back and abdominal muscles.
Move the arms back and forth in harmonious bending and press movements. In the push phase do not
push the elbows through completely. Depending on the grip position, move the elbows sideways parallel
to the body or slightly raised.
Make sure that the head and upper body form a line in a forward-leaning position (forward-downward
line of vision). Avoid head movements and compensatory movements. The shoulders remain in a neutral
position during the entire movement. To stabilize the shoulder girdle, pull the shoulder blades back and
down using active muscles. If necessary, reduce the range of motion in the pulling phase.
