Cable Chest Press

How to perform

Set both cable pulleys to chest height and take a handle in each hand. Step forward into a split stance for stability, with a slight forward lean. Press the handles forward and slightly together until your arms are extended. Return under control until you feel a stretch across the chest. Cables keep tension on the chest at both ends of the movement, unlike free weights. Common mistakes: standing too close to the stack, which removes the stretch, and shrugging the shoulders as you press.
