Chest Cable Strength

Step by step

1. Set an incline bench to about 30 to 45 degrees between two cable stations with low pulleys and single handles.
2. Sit back into the bench and press both handles up so the arms are extended over the upper chest.
3. Lower the handles to upper-chest level with the elbows tracking at about 60 to 75 degrees from your torso.
4. Pause at the bottom with a deep stretch across the upper chest and a tight upper back.
5. Press the handles back up in a slight arc until they meet above the upper chest at full arm extension.
6. Squeeze the upper chest at the top and repeat for 8 to 12 controlled reps.
