Cable Seated Close Press
The seated cable chest press with the handles pressed straight forward until they touch, a close finish that loads the triceps.
How to do it
Setup
Seated with the back on the pad between two pulleys at chest height, a handle in each hand at the chest, elbows close.
Steps
- Press the handles straight forward until they touch.
- Keep the elbows tucked and the back on the pad.
- Bring the handles back to the chest slowly.
Common mistakes
Handles meeting early and sliding apart: press them together at the finish. Shoulders rolling forward off the pad: keep the blades back. Elbows flaring: keep them close to the ribs.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
