Exercise Description

The chest press machine builds chest strength and size with guided movement. Perfect for beginners to learn proper pressing form safely.

How To

1. Sit on the chest press machine with your back flat against the pad and feet planted on the floor. 2. Grip the handles with palms facing down and position your hands at chest level. 3. Press the handles forward in a smooth, controlled motion until your arms are almost fully extended. 4. Slowly return the chest press machine handles to the starting position without letting the weight stack touch. 5. Keep your core tight throughout the entire chest press machine movement.

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders pulled back and down against the pad during the chest press machine movement. • Don't lock out your elbows completely at the top of each rep. • Control the weight on the way back - don't let it slam down. • Keep your wrists straight and grip the handles firmly throughout the chest press machine exercise.

Common Mistakes

• Arching your back off the pad instead of keeping it flat during the chest press machine. • Moving too fast and using momentum instead of controlled muscle movement. • Gripping the handles too high or too low instead of at chest level for the chest press machine.
