Hammer Strength MTS Iso-Lateral Decline Press

Hammer Strength MTS Iso-Lateral Decline Press gif
Targets: Lower chest

About

The Hammer Strength MTS Iso-Lateral Decline Press targets your lower chest. Each arm moves independently, helping to fix strength imbalances.

How to Hammer Strength MTS Iso-Lateral Decline Press

Starting Position

1. Sit in the seat, press your back against the backrest, and place your feet firmly on the floor.

2. Hold the handle and adjust your position so that your elbows are at about a 90-degree angle.

3. Slightly puff out your chest and squeeze your shoulder blades together to prepare for engaging your chest muscles effectively.

Proper Form

1. With your chest engaged, push the handles forward to almost fully extend your arms.

2. Do not fully lock your elbows, and hold briefly at the point where your lower chest contracts.

3. While feeling the stimulation in your chest, slowly return the handles to the starting position.

4. Throughout the movement, keep your upper body pressed against the backrest.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pushing the handle out, and inhale when slowly returning the handle.

Precautions

1. Do not lock your elbows by excessively straightening them; keep them slightly bent to avoid impact on the joints.

2. Do not excessively arch your back; engage your core.

3. Use a weight that you can control all the way to the end rather than an excessive weight.
