How to perform

§ 02 · Steps
  1. 01

    Adjust the seat height of the lever incline chest press so the handles are level with your upper chest and your back stays firmly against the backrest.

  2. 02

    Sit down with your feet firmly on the floor, brace your core, and pull your shoulder blades back and down.

  3. 03

    Grip the handles with straight wrists and press them up and forward in a controlled motion until your elbows are almost straight without locking them.

  4. 04

    Lower the handles slowly back to the starting position until your elbows are clearly bent and you feel a stretch in your chest without letting your shoulders roll forward.
