How to Do Cable Incline Chest Press

Form Cues

1. 1

   Set cables low, press up and forward at a 45 degree angle targeting the upper chest

2. 2

   Keep elbows at 45 degrees throughout

3. 3

   Use a staggered stance for a stable base against the pull of the cables

4. 4

   Finish with hands slightly together and arms extended, without locking out hard

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Setting cables too high — they should be below chest height to create the upward pressing angle that targets the upper chest

• ●

  Leaning back to help the press instead of driving through the chest and shoulders

• ●

  Rushing the return, losing tension at the stretched starting position
