First time on a station? Ask a Zenith coach to adjust the machine, show you the movement and check your setup. Rest 60–90 seconds between sets. Choose a load that leaves about 2–3 good reps in reserve.
HOW TO PROGRESS
When you can complete the top of the rep range with steady form in both sets, add the smallest available weight next time. If your form changes, keep the same load.
