i Instructions
- 1. Setup & Scapular Bracing: Lie flat on the floor underneath the lever arms of the ground-based pressing machine. Align the handles with your mid-chest, bend your knees, plant your feet flat, and retract your scapulae.
- 2. Eccentric Cadence: Lower the weight under a 2-second controlled count until upper arms meet the floor.
- 3. Concentric Drive: Press upward in a crisp 1-second cadence, halting just short of hyperextending elbows.
- 4. Breathing & Joint Safety: Inhale with control as the lever arms descend and exhale forcefully as you drive them upwards. Maintain total intra-abdominal pressure and active scapular depression throughout the set.
