How to Perform Cable Chest Press Pectoralis Major
Sit on the chest press machine and adjust the seat so the handles are level with the middle of your chest. Place your feet flat on the floor and grip the handles with your palms facing forward. Begin with your elbows bent and your hands close to your chest. Push the handles forward by extending your arms until they are nearly straight, focusing on contracting your chest muscles. Pause briefly at the end of the movement, then slowly bend your elbows to return the handles to the starting position while maintaining control.
