| Description: |
- Secure bench or wheelchair in place perpendicular to the band or cable load.
- Make sure starting position allows proper arm angles and maintains load throughout movement. Note: If you are too close to the band anchor point the resistance may slacken off when attempting to execute the movement.
- Use handle attachment for cable or dog loop for the band. Make sure the band is properly anchored. Make sure that the load is safely transferred to client. This should be done by having the client grab the weight themselves and bring it to the starting position.
- While engaging the core and maintaining upright spine and head posture/alignment have the client straighten the hands directly in front of them. Hands overlapped and secured on the handle/dog loop and elbows full extended.
- Without losing perpendicular loaded position and upright posture the client will flex at the elbows and bring the load towards their chest and then extend back outwards fully. This should be done in a slow and controlled fashion. Their inner core should remain engaged throughout the exercise while still remembering to breath.
