Cable Incline Bench Press
The incline press between the low pulleys; the cables keep the upper chest loaded all the way to lockout.
How to do it
Setup
Incline bench centered between the low pulleys, handles at the shoulders.
Steps
- Press until the handles nearly meet over the upper chest.
- Squeeze the chest with the cables still pulling.
- Lower to the shoulders slowly, handles in line with the chest.
Common mistakes
Handles drifting behind the shoulders: keep them level with the chest. Bench off-center: the cables must run under the arms. Letting the plates crash between reps: keep tension.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale on the press.
