Seated chest press

Watch

Set it up

1. 1Adjust the seat so the handles sit at mid-chest height
2. 2Load plates evenly on both arms, check collars
3. 3Back flat against the pad, feet planted
4. 4Press forward until arms are nearly straight, then return under control without letting the weight rest

Watch out for

• Seat too low so you're pressing upwards
• Shoulders rolling forward at the front
• Elbows flared right out — keep them around 45°
