Machine Chest Press

Adjust the seat so that the handles are at chest height.

Sit upright, back flat against the backrest, feet on the ground.

Press the handles forward until your arms are almost extended.

Let the handles return in a controlled manner -- the machine enforces a safe range of motion.

Focus on contracting the chest muscles, not pushing with the shoulders.

Ideal for beginners who want to learn the technique of pressing movements.
