Purpose
- chest builder on a fixed path with each arm carrying its own load
- independent handles mean neither side can carry the other, the same difference
a dumbbell bench has from a barbell bench
- the fixed path still takes balance out of it, so the arms work separately
without the stabilising demand of dumbbells
Execution
Set the seat so the handles line up with the middle of your chest. Sit back
against the pad and take one handle in each hand.
- press the handles forward until your arms extend
- let them travel back until you feel a stretch across your chest
- pause briefly in the stretched position to maximize tension
- press back out along the same path
- keep both sides moving at the same rate
Set the seat height once and keep it.
