How to perform the Incline Chest Press Machine
- 1Sit on the machine with your back flat against the pad, feet planted on the floor, and adjust the seat so the handles are roughly in line with your upper chest, then grab the handles with your palms facing away from you. Pull your shoulder blades gently back and down, keep your chest lifted, and brace your abs.
- 2Press the handles forward and slightly up until your arms are almost straight without locking your elbows, breathing out as you press. Pause for a moment, then slowly lower the handles back toward your chest under control as you breathe in, keeping your shoulders from rolling forward.
Coach tips
- Keep your shoulders down and back so your chest does most of the work instead of your neck and shoulders taking over.
- Use a weight that lets you move smoothly and under control; if you have to jerk or bounce, it’s too heavy.
- Think about squeezing your chest together at the top of the press and controlling the return instead of letting the weight slam down.
