Cable chest press

Muscles worked

How to do it

1. Set both cable handles at chest height and stand in the middle with a staggered stance.
2. Hold the handles at the chest, elbows about 45° from the body.
3. Press forward and slightly together until the arms are straight.
4. Return under control.

Common mistakes

• The stack pulling you backwards — stagger the feet and lean slightly forward.
• Flaring the elbows — keep them at about 45°.
• Rushing the return — match the speed of both directions.
