Exercise Description

The incline chest press machine builds upper chest muscles while giving you back support. It's perfect for targeting the top part of your pecs safely.

How To

1. Sit on the incline chest press machine with your back flat against the pad and feet planted on the floor. 2. Grab the handles with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. 3. Press the handles up and forward in a smooth arc, squeezing your chest muscles at the top. 4. Lower the weight slowly back to the starting position, feeling a stretch in your chest. 5. Keep your core tight throughout the entire incline chest press machine movement.

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders pressed back against the pad during the entire incline chest press machine movement • Don't let your wrists bend backward - keep them straight and strong • Control the weight on the way down - don't let it drop fast • Breathe out as you press up, breathe in as you lower the incline chest press machine handles

Common Mistakes

• Pressing the handles too high above your head instead of forward on the incline chest press machine • Letting your shoulders roll forward and losing contact with the back pad • Using too much weight on the incline chest press machine and not getting a full range of motion
