The Cable Decline Press is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the lower chest, triceps, and shoulders. It involves using a cable machine with a decline bench to perform the press movement.
How to perform
Instructions for performing the Cable Decline Press:1. Set up a decline bench in front of a cable machine with the handles attached to the low pulleys.
2. Lie down on the bench with your feet securely placed in the foot pads at the top of the bench, ensuring that your head is lower than your feet.
3. Grip the handles with an overhand grip and position them at chest level, with your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
4. Push the handles away from your body until your arms are fully extended, keeping your elbows slightly bent to maintain tension in the muscles.
5. Slowly bring the handles back towards your chest, focusing on squeezing your chest muscles as you press the handles back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps, making sure to keep your core engaged and maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
7. Once you have completed your set, carefully release the handles and sit up on the bench before standing up.
8. Remember to start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form and gradually increase the resistance as you become more comfortable with the exercise.
