Less burden on the joints
Chest Press Machine gif
CompoundTargets: Middle chest

About

If bench press using barbells or dumbbells is difficult for you, do this workout instead. Try to invole more of your chest, not your arms.

Coach's Tips

Please adjust the position of the bench so that the grip is at chest height.

If your elbows are raised too high, there is a risk of shoulder injury, so please maintain chest height!

How to Chest Press Machine

Starting Position

1. Please sit in the chair with your chest out and your back straight.

2. Please hold the grip with both hands.

3. Slightly lift your waist to create a natural arch.

Proper Form

1. Please push the handle hard.

2. Slowly return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you push your arms, and inhale when you bend your arms.

Precautions

If you fully extend your elbow, it can be strained, so it doesn't extend all the way.
