The Lever Standing Chest Press is a strength training exercise that targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps. This exercise can help improve upper body strength and muscle definition.
How to perform
Here are the step-by-step instructions for performing the Lever Standing Chest Press:1. Stand in front of the lever machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
2. Adjust the lever machine so that the handles are at chest level.
3. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip and keep your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
4. Press the handles forward until your arms are fully extended, while keeping your core engaged and back straight.
5. Slowly return to the starting position, making sure to control the movement.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Tips:
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability and prevent injury.
- Focus on pressing through your chest and shoulders, rather than using your arms to push the weight.
- Avoid locking out your elbows at the top of the movement to prevent strain on your joints.
