Chest Press

The chest press is a fundamental exercise that targets your pectoral muscles, triceps, and front deltoids. This exercise is performed using the chest press station on your Weider Pro 6900.

Press the handles out in front of you until your arms are fully extended. Lower the handles slowly back to the starting position, feeling the stretch in your chest muscles. Repeat this motion for the desired number of repetitions. Maintain a controlled movement throughout the exercise, avoiding jerky movements.

Remember to exhale as you press the handles out and inhale as you lower them. Focus on engaging your chest muscles throughout the exercise. If you experience any discomfort or pain, stop the exercise immediately and consult your physician.

Lat Pulldown

Hold for a moment at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in your quadriceps muscles. Slowly return to the starting position, allowing the weight to return to its original position. Repeat this motion for the desired number of repetitions.

Focus on using your quads to extend your legs, rather than momentum or other muscles. If you experience any discomfort or pain, stop the exercise immediately and consult your physician.

Make sure the pad is in a comfortable position, not too high or too low; Adjust the weight to a level that allows you to complete the full range of motion without straining.

Bend your knees and pull the leg pad towards you, contracting your hamstrings; Ensure your back remains flat throughout the movement and avoid using momentum to lift the weight. Hold for a moment at the peak of the contraction, feeling the tension in your hamstrings. Slowly return to the starting position, allowing the weight to return to its original position. Repeat this motion for the desired number of repetitions. Focus on isolating your hamstrings and using a controlled motion throughout the exercise. If you experience any discomfort or pain, stop the exercise immediately and consult your physician.
