Machine Bench Press

Form sequence

1. 01 · sit

   Sit down on the Chest Press Machine and select the weight.

2. 02 · lever

   Step on the lever provided by the machine since it will help you to bring the handles forward so that you can grab the handles and fully extend the arms.

3. 03 · start · Key step

   Grab the handles with a palms-down grip and lift your elbows so that your upper arms are parallel to the floor to the sides of your torso. Tip: Your forearms will be pointing forward since you are grabbing the handles. Once you bring the handles forward and extend the arms you will be at the starting position.

4. 04 · pull in

   Now bring the handles back towards you as you breathe in.

5. 05 · press

   Push the handles away from you as you flex your pecs and you breathe out. Hold the contraction for a second before going back to the starting position.

6. 06 · repeat

   Repeat for the recommended amount of reps.

7. 07 · finish

   When finished step on the lever again and slowly get the handles back to their original place.
