The cable press is a good exercise for training the chest muscles on the cable pulley. Due to the incline of the weight bench, you are more likely to work the upper chest muscles.
Position a 30° incline bench in the middle of two cable towers. Place the cable towers on the lowest step and attach a single handle to each. Lie on the bench and grasp a handle with each hand.
2
Spread your arms out so that there is a 45° angle between your upper arms and upper body. Your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor (elbows pointing down, hands pointing up). Position your hands at chest height with your palms facing forward.
3
Push the handles upwards in a powerful and controlled manner. Stretch almost, but not completely, to protect the elbow joints. Breathe out as you do so
4
Lower the handles in a controlled manner until they are at chest level again. Breathe in as you do so.
5
One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Make sure that you stick your chest out slightly throughout the exercise and keep your shoulders fixed (backwards and then forward and backwards). This will help you target your chest muscles better. Also try to consciously target your chest muscles and push less out of your arms. During the eccentric movement, lower your hands until you feel a slight stretch in your chest muscles. Make sure that your wrists are not bent and are in line with your forearm.
