About
The "butterfly" machine exercise is performed from a seated position by bringing the arms together in front of the body, moving them at the shoulder joints against resistance. The primary load is placed on the pectoralis major muscle, while the anterior deltoids assist in the movement.
How to do it
- 1Bring the handles together by moving your arms forward in an arc, pivoting from the shoulder joints.
- 2Pause briefly when the handles touch or nearly touch, making sure not to let your shoulders shift forward.
- 3Under control, open your arms until you feel a comfortable stretch in your chest muscles.
