The Cybex Plate Loaded Advanced Pulldown incorporates Dual
Axis Technology to provide the user with the ability to define
their path of motion in addition to providing a second direction
of resistance. The second direction of resistance reduces the
biceps involvement to help target the lats. The path through
which the plates travel creates a variable resistance effect
consistent with the strength profile of the movement. Two
handle positions are provided. The outside handles allow the
user to perform the advanced movement while the narrow
handles allow a narrow pulldown to be performed.
Instructions
1. Load appropriate resistance evenly.
2. Adjust the thigh pads to allow access and
stabilization while performing the exercise.
3. Grasp the outside handles and sit down
with knees under the thigh pads.
4. Lean back slightly and maintain this
position.
5. Maintaining shoulder position, move the
handles outward first and then bring elbows
to the sides of the body. Be sure to keep
the elbows directly beneath the hands
throughout the entire range of motion.
