After the shoulder joint is fixed, bend your elbow to lower the handle to your forehead, stop before touching it, and then straighten your arms hard.

Exercise function of common tensioners

First of all, the muscles of the limbs

biceps brachii

To exercise biceps brachii, you can sit on a low stool and fix the height of the bench, then step on one handle of the stretcher with one foot, hold the other handle with one hand and fix the elbow on the side.

triceps brachii

Put the puller behind your body, hold the handle with both hands and palm forward. Push the handle sideways with both hands until the arm is completely straight. Restore.

This exercise not only exercises biceps brachii and triceps brachii

Muscles of anterior thigh

How to exercise the front thigh muscles? We can use two pairs of tensioners, which is more effective and convenient. Step on the handle of a tensioner with one foot, bend the elbow, and hold the handle at the other end of the tensioner backwards with the palms of both hands. The length of the tensioner is the distance from the hand to the foot when squatting. Then squat down, hold the handle close to the chest wall with both hands, and stand slowly with your knees straight until your body is upright. Slowly restore. When doing movements, the upper body should be upright and the waist can be slightly arched.

Second, shoulder muscles.

Open your feet, step on the handle at one end of the stretcher with one foot, bend the elbow at the same side slightly downward to hold the handle at the other end, and put your hands on your hips at the other side to keep your torso straight. Pull the spring laterally until it is flat. Slowly restore.

Third, trunk muscles

latissimus dorsi

Bilateral synchronous exercise

Hold the handle with both hands above your head, palm forward or down, elbow slightly bent, press the handle hard, pull the spring away at the back or front of your neck, and feel the contraction of latissimus dorsi. Slowly restore. Beginners had better pull the spring behind their neck to prevent injury.

Unilateral exercise

One end of the retractor is fixed at the position about the length of the retractor spring above the shoulder, and the lower handle is held down with the palm of the same side sideways, slightly bending the elbow. Press the handle down until it is close to your side. Slowly restore. You can also use this method to exercise bilateral latissimus dorsi. The method is: one hand holds the handle on it, the other hand is on it, the elbow is slightly bent, the back is bent, and the handle is pressed down to the front of the abdomen. Slowly restore. The last two exercises also exercised the chest muscles.

Other dorsal muscles

Two pairs of feet step on one end of the stretcher, the lower limbs are straight and the upper body is bent forward. Hold the upper handle of the stretcher with both hands, bend your elbows under your abdomen, lift your body and stretch your back until your upper body is upright. Restore.

Fourth, abdominal muscles

Generally speaking, we use a stretcher to exercise our abdominal muscles, and seldom use the method of adding load to exercise. It is more common to do "V" and various sit-ups. The tensioner increases the load through elasticity, and the longer it is pulled, the greater the load resistance. We should gradually increase the range of activities and cut quickly to avoid injury. In addition, you should be prepared for activities before practice, especially stretching exercises.

Five, chest muscles

After the puller is placed behind your body, hold the handle of the puller with both hands, bend your elbow forward with your palm, and lift your arm sideways. Restore. Prone and lateral stretching can also practice chest muscles, and the effect is better.
