Lever Chest Press: Effective Machine Chest Workouts

Instructions:

    1. Set a bench to a decline angle and position yourself securely with your feet under the support pads.
    2. Grasp the barbell or dumbbells with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
    3. Start with the weight at chest level, elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
    4. Press the weight upward, extending your arms fully without locking your elbows.
    5. Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position, keeping control.

Tips:

    • Use a spotter for safety, especially with heavy weights.
    • Keep your core engaged and back pressed against the bench.
    • Avoid flaring your elbows too much; keep them at about a 45-degree angle.
    • Focus on squeezing your chest muscles during the press.
    • Perform 3–4 sets of 8–12 reps for strength and muscle growth.
