Rintapunnerruslaite on kuntosalilaite, joka kuormittaa ensisijaisesti Chest.
The exercise suits a beginner: the range of motion is guided and you can start light.
On a machine the range of motion is guided, which makes it safe to train alone — but the settings must be adjusted to your own body, or the movement will be felt in the wrong place.
This page tells you what the machine is. Step-by-step instructions, common mistakes and a video of the movement are in the Luio app — the video shows the range of motion that text cannot describe.
⚠️ Most common mistake: Leaning the torso forward to push the handles instead of pressing cleanly with the chest and arms. Letting the elbows flare wide to shoulder height, which strains the front shoulders. Allowing one arm to lead the press, creating uneven loading and shoulder asymmetry over time. Cutting the range short on the way back, missing the chest stretch that drives growth.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Chest.
