Success Tips
• Control the motion during the entire
exercise. Do not use momentum.
• Do not rotate your spine to gain
additional range of motion. Try for pure
rotation of your shoulder—more is not
better.

perfect repetitions.
• Standing at different angles to the
machine will alter the resistance
application to the muscle.
