i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup & Scapular Bracing: Lie flat on the floor underneath the lever arms of the ground-based pressing machine. Align the handles with your mid-chest, bend your knees, plant your feet flat, and retract your scapulae.
  2. 2. Fluid Cadence: Lower under a smooth 2-second count until upper arms lightly touch the floor.
  3. 3. Eliminate Lockout: Drive upward but halt movement 1-2 inches before elbow extension, immediately reversing into the next rep to preserve nonstop vascular tension.
  4. 4. Breathing & Joint Safety: Inhale with control as the lever arms descend and exhale forcefully as you drive them upwards. Maintain total intra-abdominal pressure and active scapular depression throughout the set.
