The Lever Incline Chest Press is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the chest, shoulders, and triceps.
How to perform
Instructions:1. Start by adjusting the seat and backrest of the lever incline chest press machine so that the handles are at chest level.
2. Sit down on the machine with your back flat against the backrest and feet firmly planted on the floor.
3. Grab the handles with an overhand grip, making sure your hands are shoulder-width apart.
4. Press the handles forward until your arms are fully extended, but do not lock out your elbows.
5. Slowly lower the handles back down towards your chest, keeping your elbows at a 90-degree angle.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
7. When finished, carefully release the handles and sit up straight before standing up from the machine.
Tips:
- Focus on keeping your back flat against the backrest throughout the exercise to maintain proper form and prevent injury.
- Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body and avoid arching your back.
- Keep a controlled tempo while performing the exercise, emphasizing the eccentric (lowering) phase for optimal muscle engagement.
It is important to consult with a fitness professional before adding new exercises to your workout routine, especially if you are new to strength training. Start with a light weight to ensure proper form and gradually increase the resistance as you become more comfortable with the exercise.
