Precor Incline Machine Press
The Precor incline machine press has a very smooth, natural feel about it. It is a plate loaded machine, so you are feeling direct weight, and yet it is on a lever that allows your arms to move in a smooth pattern. Like the other machine presses, you don't need a spotter on this one which is a great plus.
Primary Muscles Used
Incline Machine Press Instructions
- Set the seat pad so when your hands grip the handles they are even with your upper chest.
- Sit on the pad with your back firmly pressed against the back rest and grip the handles with and overhand grip.
- As always, start by tightening your abdominals.
- With an overhand grip slowly press the handles away from your body.
- Stop just before your elbows lock.
- At that point, pause as you try to squeeze your hands together, this will engage the pec muscles a little more.
- Slowly return weight to starting position.
- Repeat.
Tim's list of benefits for the Precor Incline Machine Press
- The Precor incline chest press machine targets the muscles of the upper chest and front delts.
- The pectoral or chest muscles are important muscles for aesthetics as well as function.
- Using the incline chest press machine you take out the need for stabilizers, allowing you to use heavier weight than with dumbbells or a barbell.
- Having a machine that uses free weights allows for you to feel the weight as if it were a free weight, but without the risk.
- You don't need a spotter with this exercise as if you can not do the weight, you simply bring it back slowly.
