Chest Cable Strength

Step by step

1. Set a decline bench between two cable stations with both pulleys at the lowest position and single handles attached.
2. Lock your feet under the pads and lie back, then press both handles up over your lower chest.
3. Lower the handles to chest level with the elbows tracking at about 60 to 75 degrees from your torso.
4. Pause briefly at the bottom with a deep chest stretch, keeping the upper back tight against the bench.
5. Press the handles back up in a slight arc until they meet above the lower chest at full extension.
6. Squeeze the chest hard at the top and repeat for 8 to 12 reps with controlled tempo.
