Lever Seated Plate-Loaded Scapular Retraction

Sit on the machine and adjust the chest pad and seat height so your arms reach comfortably forward to the handles.

Grip the handles firmly with your arms fully extended and keep your feet flat on the floor.

Initiate the movement by squeezing your shoulder blades together without bending your elbows excessively.

Hold the fully retracted position for a brief moment while exhaling.

Inhale as you slowly return the weight to the starting position with control.
