Leverage Decline Chest Press

Strengthen your chest using a machine-based variation.

This decline press variation emphasizes the lower chest and adds variety to your pressing routine.

Instructions

  1. Adjust the machine seat so the handles align with the lower part of your chest.
  2. Sit tall, keeping your chest high and shoulder blades pulled back.
  3. Press the handles forward by straightening your arms.
  4. Pause briefly at full extension without locking the elbows.
  5. Slowly return the handles to just above the start, avoiding full rest between reps.
  6. Focus on steady breathing and a consistent tempo throughout.
