The Butterfly Reverse machine is in most cases a combination machine, but of course Butterfly exercises can be performed on it. It is with this machine, especially when training in a gym, just like any other. Before you just sit on it and get started, the fitness instructor should be informed so that he can intervene if necessary if something is not done properly. Even with a Butterfly Reverse it is possible to do more harm than good to your body, although the injuries you can get are not quite as big, but very painful, for example, when it comes to overstretching.
Usually in a gym you have a special machine or a combination machine at your disposal. The big question now is what to buy for home? But one thing is as important as anything else in sports, before exercising, the body must be warmed up, because otherwise it comes more quickly to injuries or sore muscles.
The correct execution
There are a few things you have to pay attention to when doing a Butterfly Reverse. The elbows should not point downwards, and in order to achieve a correct sitting posture, they should point outwards in any case. The head should form an extension of the spine at all times. Many people make a serious mistake when exercising on a Butterfly Reverse, because they hold their head too far down, then the exercise quickly becomes too strenuous and, moreover, this can lead to a serious injury to the neck.
The chest must not lose contact with the chest support during the exercises and the weight must never be completely put down during the exercise.
This is how a Butterfly Reverse should look like
It should start with the rotating arms, they should definitely be suitable for individual training preferences and also for different users. An optimized grip position is necessary, because this way the required seat position between the Butterfly Reverse and Butterfly can be taken.
Of course, the appearance of a Butterfly Reverse also plays a role, especially if the gem is to find its place in the living room at home. Therefore, it should be a device with a rounded tubular steel frame, which not only looks chic, but is also extremely stable.
A powder-coated surface would be advantageous, this is also used in the car industry and ensures that no scratches occur on the surfaces.
Furthermore, with a Butterfly Reverse it is necessary that the weight stacks on the device are easily accessible from all training positions, this also applies to any additional weights that may be present, which are important for fine adjustment.
More attention should be paid to the padding, because it should not only guarantee a correct posture, but also be breathable. Who trains a lot, also sweats and otherwise ugly stains can arise on the surface of the upholstery.
An innovative extra is the bottle and towel holder, they admittedly not necessarily compelling, but with the prices the devices cost, that may already be there.
The Butterfly Reverse for your own home
A Butterfly Reverse which is to stand at home, should be in no case too large and easy to use. It should be primarily the optimal price-performance ratio that contributes to a purchase. In spite of everything, an amount of around 3000 Euros must be reckoned with, so that the buyer can be sure to have bought something good.
The Internet can help, here devices are offered which are also TÜV tested, this is also the attention to be directed. Only with a TÜV seal the buyer is sure that it is a tested Butterfly Reverse.
