The Lever Pullover exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the chest, back, and arms. This exercise is typically done using a lever machine, which provides resistance as you pull the lever overhead and bring it back down.
How to perform
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to perform the Lever Pullover exercise:1. Begin by adjusting the lever machine to your desired weight/resistance level.
2. Sit on the lever machine bench with your back flat against the pad and your feet firmly planted on the ground.
3. Grasp the handles of the lever machine with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
4. Keeping your arms straight, slowly pull the lever overhead in a semi-circular motion until your arms are fully extended overhead.
5. Hold this position for a moment, feeling the stretch in your chest and back muscles.
6. Slowly bring the lever back down to the starting position, keeping your arms straight.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It's important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise, avoiding any jerky or rapid movements. Remember to engage your core muscles and breathe steadily throughout the exercise. Start with a lighter weight/resistance level and gradually increase as you build strength.
Equipment required
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded)
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded) equipment is used for strength training exercises. It consists of a weight-loaded lever system attached to a seat or bench to provide resistance. These machines are designed to target specific muscle groups and allow for controlled and isolated movements to build muscle strength and mass. They are commonly used for exercises such as chest presses, squats, rows, and shoulder presses.
