FreeMotion Standing Incline Cable Press
I love this exercise on the FreeMotion Dual Cable Cross but you can perform this exercise with any cable machine so long as the two pulley points are shoulder width or wider. This exercise can be modified to make it much more difficult by performing it on one leg! You get a great stretch in the chest as well as a great squeeze.
Primary Muscles Used
Standing Incline Cable Press Instructions
- Set the cable arms a little lower than shoulder height and one setting wider than strait forward.
- If you are not using the FreeMotion, then put the settings as close as you can.
- Grab the handles facing away from the machine.
- With your hands in front of you walk forward and bring your arms up and out so your hands are even with your shoulders.
- Tighten your stomach and put your feet about shoulder width apart (if you are new to this exercise, start with a staggered stance, one foot in front of the other).
- Press your hands up and forward at a 45 degree angle.
- At the top bring your hands together and squeeze your chest.
- Pause at the top and then slowly bring your hands back to the starting position.
- Bring back to starting position.
- Repeat.
