Purpose
- upper-chest builder on a fixed path
- the incline shifts the press onto the clavicular fibres while the machine
holds tension across the whole range, so the stretched position stays loaded
- nothing is spent on balance, which is what separates it from an incline press
with a bar
Execution
Set the seat so the handles line up with the top of your chest. Sit back against
the pad and take the handles.
- press the handles up and forward until your arms extend
- let them travel back until you feel a stretch across your upper chest
- pause briefly in the stretched position to maximize tension
- press back out along the same path
- keep your back against the pad throughout
Set the seat height once and keep it.
