Cable Chest Press

Starting Position

1. Grab the handles on both sides of the cable machine and stand one or two steps in front of the machine.

2. Step one foot forward to establish your stance and lean your body slightly forward.

3. With your elbows slightly bent, position the handles next to your chest and get ready.

Proper Form

1. Tense your chest and push the handle forward while extending your arms.

2. Feel the contraction in your chest at the point where your hands come together in front of your body and hold for a moment.

3. Slowly bend your elbows to return the handle to the starting position beside your chest.

4. Engage your core to prevent your body from leaning back and repeat.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pushing the handle forward, and inhale when pulling the handle back.
