About

It's a resistance press workout that you can do with a cable!

How to Cable Bench Press

Starting Position

1. Lie on the bench holding the cable with both hands and keep your feet fixed on the floor.

2. Pull your shoulders back and hold them in place so that your shoulders are behind your chest.

3. Keep your lower back in a natural arch shape.

Proper Form

1. Slowly lower your hand so that it is next to your chest.

2. At this time, your forearm should be perpendicular to the floor.

3. Slowly raise your hand to return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when you bend your arms, and exhale when you push your arms.

Precautions

1. If you cannot lower your hands to chest height, please lower them as much as you can without straining.

2. Be careful not to let your shoulders come forward of your chest, as this can put strain on your shoulders.

3. Please be careful not to let your buttocks fall off the bench.
