Chest Press Machine

A resistance machine designed to target the chest muscles by pressing weights away from the body in a seated position.

Key Points

• Adjust the seat and handles to align with your chest level.
• Keep your back firmly pressed against the backrest.
• Grasp the handles with an overhand grip and keep wrists straight.
• Exhale as you press the handles forward and extend your arms.
• Inhale as you slowly return to the starting position without locking your elbows.

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight, which can lead to poor form.
• Allowing the back to arch off the backrest.
• Locking elbows at the end of the press.
• Failing to adjust the seat height to proper levels.
• Using momentum to push the weight instead of controlled muscle contractions.
