How to use the butterfly device for your individual training SQMIZE® Power Pack BFM160 

The SQMIZE® Power Pack BFM160 butterfly device offers a wide range of options for individual training. Here are the most important aspects to keep in mind to get the most out of your workout. 

Instructions for using the Butterfly device

When training with the Butterfly SQMIZE® Power Pack BFM160 device, it is important to maintain a straight posture. The movements should always be performed slowly and in a controlled manner to avoid jerky strain on the shoulders and chest muscles. Start with a light weight and increase it gradually to prevent overstraining the muscles and joints. A thorough warm-up – especially of the shoulder and chest muscles – is the best way to prepare for the workout. 

Tips for training duration and intensity 

To intensify your training with the Butterfly SQMIZE® Power Pack BFM160 device, you can adjust the amount of force required by increasing the weights. Here are some tips on how to increase the intensity of your workout: 

• Progressive overload: Gradually increase the weight once you can do 10-12 clean repetitions. This way you will challenge your muscles steadily and ensure continuous progress. 
• Reduce set breaks: Shorten the breaks between sets to increase the load and improve your muscle endurance. 

Exercises with the butterfly machine Power Pack BFM160 from SQMIZE® 

With special exercises on the butterfly machine SQMIZE® Power Pack BFM160, you can specifically target different muscle groups in the upper body and customize your workout. This way, you get the most out of your butterfly machine and achieve your training goals even faster. Here is a selection of suitable exercises: 

• Butterfly: This exercise specifically targets the chest muscles and strengthens the front part of your upper body. Sit on the butterfly machine, grasp the butterfly handles, and bring your arms together with slightly bent elbows until your hands almost touch in front of your chest. Then return to the starting position in a controlled manner without losing the tension in your chest. 
• Reverse Butterfly: This exercise strengthens the upper back and shoulder muscles, especially the back of the shoulder. Sit backwards on the butterfly machine SQMIZE® Power Pack BFM160 so that you are facing the backrest. Grasp the handles and bring your arms backwards from your chest until your shoulder blades are pulled together. Then return to the starting position in a controlled manner. 
• Single-arm butterfly: This variation focuses on the chest muscles on one side and increases the muscular tension in the entire chest region. Grasp only one butterfly handle and bring the arm together in front of the chest, while the other arm can rest at your side. Perform the movement slowly and in a controlled manner, then switch sides. 
• Negative butterfly: This technique increases the load on the eccentric phase, i.e. the phase of returning the arms, to put more strain on the muscles. Perform the butterfly movement as usual, but make sure that you return your arms very slowly and in a controlled manner. This phase should take twice as long as the forward movement. 
• Pulsing Butterfly: This variation increases intensity through small, pulsating movements that keep the chest muscles under constant tension. Perform the butterfly movement up to the middle and keep your arms slightly bent. Now make quick, short movements (pulsing) in the lower part of the movement, without fully closing or opening your arms.
