Incline Cable Chest Press

Technique

How to perform Incline Cable Chest Press

1. Use either an incline bench between two low cable pulleys with one handle per hand, or an integrated cable chest-press station with an inclined back support.
2. For the separate bench, position the pulleys behind and below your hands so the cables oppose the upward press; on the integrated station, adjust the seat so the handles begin beside your chest.
3. Sit with your back and hips supported, feet planted, and elbows bent slightly in from your sides.
4. Press the handles upward and inward along the inclined pressing path while keeping your torso against the support.
5. Return the handles toward the sides of your chest under control without letting the weight stack drop.
6. Maintain the same supported position and handle path for each repetition.
