The next exercise I’m going to demonstrate is a hammer strength isolateral roll. You want to make sure that you adjust the pad so that your chest is right up against the front pad. So go ahead and adjust the seat so that it’s appropriate for you. You’re going to go ahead and take a seat facing the machine. Option one; you can place your feet on the floor. Option two; you can place your feet on the bar. Whatever is most comfortable for you. Keeping your abs tight, keeping your body up against the pad, I want you to reach up and grab the parallel bars. With both arms, you can exhale as you pull straight back, squeezing your shoulder blades together and inhale as you release forward. Loose grip on the handlebars, make sure that you fully extend your arms without locking your elbows and exhale squeeze. This isn’t isolateral roll, so you can also just do one arm at a time, these weights are not connected. Inhale and exhale, very good.
