Hammer Strength Decline Chest Press Muscles Worked: Chest

Form

  1. 1. While tightening your chest, push the handle forward and extend your arms.
  2. 2. Do not fully lock your arms; keep a slight bend and feel the chest contraction at the peak.
  3. 3. Slowly pull the handle back towards your chest to return to the starting position, keeping your elbows from flaring out too much.
  4. 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. 1. Avoid excessively bending your waist; keep your hips and back against the backrest and engage your core.
  2. 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. 3. If you feel pinching in the front of your shoulder when going too deep, reduce the range of motion.
  4. 4. At first, it's better to start with a manageable weight rather than a heavy one to accurately learn the movements.
