CYBEX VR2 Owner’s Manual
The Positioning
• Adjust the seat to align the horizontal handles
with the top of the shoulders.
• Adjust the chest pad to allow both hands to reach
the handles while protracting. Moving into the
“chest up” erect posture should then allow full
motion.
• Check the weight to insure that the appropriate
resistance has been selected. Body position and
control of the motion should never be compro-
mised by excessive weight.
START POSITION
The Motion - The Row
• Grip the lower end of the vertical or parallel
handles.
• Retract the scapula (pinch the shoulder blades
back and together).
• While maintaining the scapular position and the
chest on the pad, bring the arms to your sides.
• Slowly return to the starting position without
resting.
• If the scapular position changes, reset the scapula
refraction at the beginning of each repetition.
FINISH POSITION
The Motion - The Rear Delt
• Grip the horizontal handles.
• Retract the scapula (pinch the shoulder blades back and together) and maintain.
• Bring the elbows back as far as possible, keeping them at shoulder level. “Lead with the
elbows” to decrease elbow flexor involvement.
• Slowly return to the starting position without resting, maintaining scapular retraction.
