The Machine Inner Chest Press exercise is a machine-based exercise that targets the inner chest muscles, specifically the pectoralis major. This exercise helps in strengthening and toning the inner chest muscles, improving overall upper body strength.
How to perform
To perform the Machine Inner Chest Press exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Sit on the machine bench with your back pressed firmly against the backrest and your feet flat on the floor.
2. Adjust the seat height so that the handles of the machine are at chest level.
3. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip (palms facing forward) and bring them close to your chest.
4. Push the handles away from your chest while exhaling, straightening your arms but not locking your elbows.
5. Slowly bring the handles back towards your chest while inhaling, keeping your elbows at a 90-degree angle.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Tips:
- Make sure to keep your back pressed against the backrest throughout the exercise to maintain proper form.
- Focus on squeezing your inner chest muscles as you push the handles away from your chest.
- Control the movement and avoid using momentum to perform the exercise.
It is important to consult with a fitness professional before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you are new to strength training or have any underlying health conditions.
