  1. 1.Adjust the seat height and position yourself on the leverage machine.
  2. 2.Grasp the handles with your palms facing inwards and your arms fully extended.
  3. 3.Keeping your back straight, exhale and elevate your shoulders as high as possible.
  4. 4.Hold the contraction for a brief moment, then inhale and slowly lower your shoulders back down to the starting position.
  5. 5.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
