FitnessTracker users looking to build a strong upper chest will benefit from the incline cable press. The cables offer smooth resistance and allow for controlled pressing mechanics that engage the chest, shoulders, and triceps.
Instructions
- Sit upright on an incline bench set between 30–45 degrees, and grab each cable handle with your palms facing forward.
- Begin with elbows bent at 90 degrees and upper arms angled slightly below shoulder height. Keep your chest lifted and core engaged.
- Press both handles forward until your arms are straight, keeping your shoulder blades gently pulled back.
- Pause briefly at full extension, then return with control to the starting position without letting the weights rest.
