How to Do Hammer Strength Decline Chest Press
Hammer Strength Decline Chest Press Muscles Worked: Chest
Form
- 1. While tightening your chest, push the handle forward and extend your arms.
- 2. Do not fully lock your arms; keep a slight bend and feel the chest contraction at the peak.
- 3. Slowly pull the handle back towards your chest to return to the starting position, keeping your elbows from flaring out too much.
- 4. As you lower, feel the stretch in your chest and only go down to a range that is pain-free.
Coach's Tips
- 1. Avoid excessively bending your waist; keep your hips and back against the backrest and engage your core.
- 2. If you spread your elbows too far out, it puts more strain on your shoulders, so maintain an angle of about 30-45 degrees with your torso.
- 3. If you feel pinching in the front of your shoulder when going too deep, reduce the range of motion.
- 4. At first, it's better to start with a manageable weight rather than a heavy one to accurately learn the movements.
