Decline Machine Press

How to

Machine
  1. 1 Sit with the handles in line with the lower chest.
  2. 2 Press down and forward to near lockout.
  3. 3 Return slowly without letting the weight rest.

Tips

  • Line the handles up with the lower chest before loading.
  • Keep the back against the pad and the chest up.
  • A heavier option than dips for shoulders that do not like dipping.

Common mistakes

  • Rounding the shoulders forward to finish.
  • Resting the weight between reps.
  • A seat setting that starts the handles at the upper chest.
