About

How to Hammer Strength MTS Iso-Lateral Incline Press

Starting Position

1. Adjust the seat height so that the handle is aligned with the upper chest line.

2. Press your back and hips against the backrest and firmly plant your feet on the floor.

3. Hold the handle with both hands and keep your elbows slightly bent at your sides.

Proper Form

1. Tense your chest and push the handle forward and upward to extend your arms.

2. Feel the contraction in your chest at the peak for a moment.

3. Do not fully lock your elbows, and slowly return the handle to the starting position.

4. Use both arms simultaneously or alternately to provide balanced stimulation.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pushing the handle away, and inhale when bringing the handle towards your chest.

Precautions

1. Don't lift excessive weight and be mindful to move both arms at the same speed.
