Excerpt from Manual for Physical Culture and Muscular Development
Stand facing machine [see cut] pulling both hands, first into right side then into left side as shown in cut. May be done twenty times each way. When pulling into left side you develop muscle of right arm from palm of hand following therefrom down forearm to inner part of bicep to pectoral muscle and up left forearm and back part of upper arm to the trapezium. When pulling to right side the muscles taken are reversed on each arm. Heretofore I have quoted this as a sparring motion although it does not take in the exact muscles used in sparring, for you must turn sideways to strike an effective blow in sparring, and furthermore the muscles must be loose to strike properly, which condition can not be attained in this motion.
