How to perform Leverage Incline Chest Press

  1. Load the incline chest press machine and adjust the seat so the handles begin near your upper chest.
  2. Sit with your back against the pad and your feet planted.
  3. Grasp the handles so your wrists and forearms line up with the pressing direction, keeping your torso supported.
  4. Press upward and forward along the machine's arc as your elbows straighten.
  5. Pause briefly without lifting your back from the pad or forcefully locking your elbows.
  6. Bend your elbows and return the handles under control through the available range, then repeat without bouncing the weights on the stops.
