Chest Press - Machine

Set the machine to your height by adjusting the seat height so that your hands, when on the handles, are at a lower chest level (if unsure ask an instructor).

Placing your hands on the wide grip with palms facing downwards, slowly push your arms out straight in front of you until you can go no further. Make sure you don't lock your elbows out. Now slowly bringing your arms in again to the point where your elbows are at a 90 degree angle and push back out again.


Do's Don'ts
  • Do keep your tummy tight
  • Do keep a slight bend in the elbow at the straightest point
  • Do breathe out on the way out and in on the way in
  • Do the movement in a slow controlled manner
  • Don't hold your breath
  • Don't arch your back or lean forwards
  • Don't set the seat level too low
  • Don't let the weight drop
