How to Hammer Strength MTS Iso-Lateral Decline Press

Starting Position

1. Sit in the seat, press your back against the backrest, and place your feet firmly on the floor.

2. Hold the handle and adjust your position so that your elbows are at about a 90-degree angle.

3. Slightly puff out your chest and squeeze your shoulder blades together to prepare for proper engagement of your chest muscles.

Proper Form

1. Tense your chest and push the handles forward, almost fully extending your arms.

2. Do not fully lock your elbows, and hold for a moment at the point where your lower chest contracts.

3. While feeling the stimulation in your chest, slowly return the handles to the starting position.

4. Throughout the movement, keep your upper body pressed against the backrest.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pushing the handle out, and inhale when slowly returning the handle.

Precautions

1. Do not lock your elbows by excessively straightening them; keep them slightly bent to avoid impact on the joints.

2. Do not excessively arch your back; engage your core.

3. Use a weight that you can control all the way to the end rather than an excessive load.
