How to One Arm Hammer Strength MTS Iso-Lateral Incline Press

Starting Position

1. Sit on the machine seat and press your back against the backrest.

2. With one hand, grab the handle and keep your elbow slightly bent next to your upper chest.

3. Use your opposite hand to lightly hold onto your thigh or the machine to stabilize your body.

Proper Form

1. Push the handle forward and upward while extending your arms and contracting your upper chest.

2. Do not fully lock your elbows and hold briefly at the peak.

3. Slowly return the handle to the starting position while feeling the stretch in your upper chest.
