8.5.3.2 VECTOR CHEST PRESS
1. Adopt the right exercise position: Sit on the seat so that your upper body
touches the backrest completely. Place your feet about shoulder width apart.
Kick down the easy entry feature to move the handles forwards. Grasp the
handlebars with your hands. Your palms are facing downwards. Bend your elbows
at a right angle. Your arms are at shoulder height (also see Chapter 5.5).
2. Now contract your torso muscles, extend your arms forwards against the
resistance of the machine until your elbows are almost completely extended.
Make sure not to hyperextend your elbows. This may lead to injuries and
arthrosis in the long term. Breathe out when you exert strain against the
resistance. Maintain this position momentarily.
3. Now bend your elbows and return the handles, making sure to maintain control.
Stop the return motion when the upper arms are in line with the axis of your
shoulders. Breathe in during the return sequence. When you have finished the
training sequence, kick the easy entry feature again with your foot. Now release
the handles and return them to the start position.
