Machine Chest Press

The machine chest press is a great exercise for building and strengthening the chest muscles with the added stability of a machine. Here are the steps:

1. Adjust the seat and handles of the chest press machine so that the handles are level with your chest when you sit down.
2. Sit on the machine with your feet flat on the floor and your back firmly against the backrest. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip (palms facing forward).
3. Press the handles forward and upward until your arms are fully extended but not locked out.
4. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your chest muscles.
5. Slowly return the handles to the starting position, keeping the movement controlled and maintaining tension in your chest.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
