The Cable One Arm Incline Press is a unilateral exercise that targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps. This exercise is done on a cable machine with an adjustable incline bench.
How to perform
Here are step-by-step instructions for performing the Cable One Arm Incline Press:1. Adjust the incline bench on the cable machine to a comfortable angle, typically between 30-45 degrees.
2. Attach a single-handle attachment to the high pulley on the cable machine.
3. Sit on the incline bench and grab the handle with one hand, positioning yourself so that your arm is extended and parallel to the ground.
4. Brace your core and keep your back flat against the bench.
5. Inhale and lower the handle down towards your chest in a controlled manner, keeping your elbow close to your body.
6. Exhale and push the handle back up to the starting position, fully extending your arm.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on one arm before switching to the other arm.
8. Make sure to keep your chest up, shoulders back, and elbows tucked in throughout the movement to effectively target the chest and triceps.
9. To avoid straining your shoulder or back, use a weight that allows you to maintain proper form and control throughout the exercise.
10. Perform 3-4 sets of 8-12 repetitions on each arm to effectively strengthen and build muscle in the chest, shoulders, and triceps.
