Lever Chest Press: Effective Machine Chest Workouts
Instructions:
-
- Set a bench to a decline angle and position yourself securely with your feet under the support pads.
- Grasp the barbell or dumbbells with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Start with the weight at chest level, elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
- Press the weight upward, extending your arms fully without locking your elbows.
- 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.
