Cable Press on Stability Ball
The cable chest press lying on a ball between the low pulleys; the cables pull outward, so the hands must be steered in.
How to do it
Setup
Ball centered between the low pulleys, upper back on it, hips up, handles at the chest.
Steps
- Press both handles up until they nearly meet over the chest.
- Hold the bridge still as the cables pull.
- Lower the handles to the chest under control.
Common mistakes
Bridge sagging on the way down: drive the hips up through the heels. Handles pulled wide by the cables: steer them in over the chest. Ball rolling: feet planted wide.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
