The one-arm cable chest press works your chest with one arm at a time. It helps you focus on each side and boosts your core stability.

How to Cable Seated Single Arm Chest Press

Starting Position

1. Stand next to the cable machine and grab the handle with one hand.

2. Place one foot in front and lean your body slightly forward.

3. Keep the handle next to your chest, with your elbow bent at about 90 degrees.

Proper Form

1. Tense your chest and push the handle forward while extending your arms.

2. Feel the chest contraction briefly at the peak.

3. Slowly bend your elbows to return the handle to the starting position.

4. After finishing one side, repeat the same method on the opposite side.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pushing the handle out, and inhale when pulling the handle back.

2. Don't overload one side; balance the weight on both sides.

3. Keep your shoulders down to prevent them from rising towards your ears.
