Cable Chest Press
About
The cable chest press is a standing chest press. The constant tension from the cable helps strengthen your chest and core stability.
How to 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.
Precautions
1. Do not excessively arch your back or stick out your ribs too much.
2. Maintain balance with your feet and core to prevent your body from swaying back and forth.
3. If you feel pain in your shoulders, adjust the angle of your arms and the height of the cable.
