Cybex Arm Extension

• The machine.

• Ian Sadowski demonstrates how to use it:
  • [Starting position.]
  • [Intermediate position.]
  • [Ending position.]
      (Ian is one of the workstudies at the Railroad. He works out regularly and also enjoys mountain biking.)

• Don't let your elbows come off the pad. And keep them in line with your shoulders - don't cheat by letting them move out to the side.
  • [Elbows correctly in line with the shoulders.]
  • [Elbows sprayed out to the sides.]

• And don't lock out your arms.
  • [Ending by maintaining a small angle at the elbow.]
  • [Extending too far.]

• Unnarrated, unedited video clips. (In the first clip, Ian is doing it correctly except for the last few seconds when he switched to the wrong mode. If we could edit these, those frames would be clipped off. And he was concentrating on the elbows bit and may have been extending his arms a little too far.)
