Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Lever Seated Fly

• With a slight bend in your elbows, start to bring the handles together in front of you in a smooth and controlled motion, focusing on squeezing your chest muscles.
• Continue the motion until your hands meet in the middle, directly in front of your chest.
• Hold the position for a second, ensuring you are fully contracting your chest muscles.

Tips for Performing Lever Seated Fly

• Proper Grip: Hold the handles with your palms facing inward and your elbows slightly bent. Avoid gripping the handles too tightly as this can lead to wrist strain. Also, make sure your hands are positioned at the same level as your shoulders to avoid shoulder strain.
• Controlled Movement: Avoid the temptation to use momentum to lift the weights. Instead, focus on using a slow, controlled movement to open and close your arms. This will ensure that your muscles are doing the work, not your joints or momentum.
• Breathing Technique: Breathe out as you bring the handles together and breathe in as you return to the starting position. This will help to keep your blood pressure
