Seated Incline Chest Press on a Chair
The seated chest press on a chair aimed up and forward above the head, the path of an incline press for the upper chest.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a chair, feet flat, fists at the collarbones.
Steps
- Press the fists up and forward until the arms are straight above the head.
- Bring the fists together at the top.
- Lower them back to the collarbones.
Common mistakes
Leaning back to get the fists higher: the backrest is not a bench; sit upright. Shoulders rising to the ears: keep them low. Pressing straight up like an overhead press: the path goes forward as well.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
