What It Is

A guided press that pushes up and out at an angle. It builds your upper chest along a path the machine keeps steady.

How to Do It

Set the seat so the handles line up with your upper chest. Sit with your back against the pad and grip the handles. Press up and out until your arms are straight. Lower slowly until you feel a stretch across your chest.

Tips

Keep your shoulders down and back against the pad. Stop lowering when your hands are even with your chest.
