Seated Pec Deck on a Chair
The pec deck without a machine, seated on a chair: the bent arms swing together in front of the face and open again.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a chair, upper arms out at shoulder height, elbows bent to about 90°, fists up.
Steps
- Close the arms until the forearms press together, fists up.
- Keep the elbows at shoulder height as they meet.
- Open the arms back to the start with control.
Common mistakes
Letting the arms sag as they close: the upper arms stay level with the shoulders. Leaning forward to close the gap: sit tall. Moving without tension: squeeze as if against a machine.
Breathing
Exhale on the squeeze, inhale opening.
