Cable Decline Press
The decline press with both handles from the low pulleys behind the head; the cables load the press all the way to lockout.
How to do it
Setup
Decline bench in front of the pulleys, legs hooked, a handle in each hand at the lower chest.
Steps
- Drive the handles up until the arms lock over the lower chest.
- Hold the lockout a beat as the cables pull back.
- Let the handles come back to the lower chest slowly.
Common mistakes
Handles drifting back toward the head: the cables pull that way; finish over the lower chest. Legs not hooked: lock them first. Resting the handles on the chest between reps: the cables should stay loaded.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
