Lever Pronated Grip Seated Scapular Retraction Shrug (plate Loaded)
Sit on the machine with your back against the pad and feet flat on the floor. Grip the handles with a pronated (overhand) grip and let your arms extend forward. Keep your core engaged and spine neutral. Begin by pulling your shoulder blades back and down (scapular retraction), then slightly shrug upward while squeezing your upper back muscles. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly return to the starting position with control. Avoid using momentum and keep the movement focused on the shoulder blades.
