Converging Chest Press Machine

Starting Position

1. Adjust the seat height so that the handle is at chest level.

2. Press your back against the backrest and keep your feet firmly on the floor.

3. Hold the handle with both hands and keep your elbows slightly bent at your sides.

Proper Form

1. Tense your chest and push the handles forward while bringing them inward towards each other.

2. Feel the chest contraction briefly when your arms are almost straight and the handles are close together.

3. Slowly widen the handles and return to the starting position.

4. Repeat while consciously allowing your chest to lead the movement rather than your shoulders.

Breathing Technique

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