Machine Decline Chest Press
Seated in the decline chest press, drive the handles away until the arms are straight and return to a light stretch at the lower chest.
How to do it
Setup
Seated in the decline press, handles at the lower-chest line.
Steps
- Drive the handles away to straight arms.
- Squeeze the lower chest at lockout.
- Return into the stretch without stack rest.
Common mistakes
Shoulders leading the press: chest first, blades pinned. Seat misadjusted: the handle line makes or breaks the angle. Half returns: full stretch.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
