The Lever Decline Chest Press is a strength training exercise that targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps. This exercise is typically performed using a lever machine, which provides resistance through a series of weights and pulleys.
How to perform
To perform the Lever Decline Chest Press, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by adjusting the lever machine so that the seat is in a decline position. Sit on the seat and grasp the handles of the machine with an overhand grip.
2. Press your back firmly against the backrest and plant your feet securely on the floor.
3. Inhale and lower the handles down towards your chest, keeping your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
4. Exhale and push the handles away from your body, extending your arms fully but without locking your elbows.
5. Hold the contraction at the top for a brief moment before slowly returning to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining control and proper form throughout the movement.
It's important to choose a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form and technique. Begin with a lighter weight if you are new to the exercise and gradually increase the resistance as you become stronger. As with any exercise, it's also important to warm up before starting and to cool down afterwards to prevent injury.
Equipment required
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded)
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded) equipment is used for strength training exercises. It consists of a weight-loaded lever system attached to a seat or bench to provide resistance. These machines are designed to target specific muscle groups and allow for controlled and isolated movements to build muscle strength and mass. They are commonly used for exercises such as chest presses, squats, rows, and shoulder presses.
