Chest Press 3

Video coming soon...

The Chest press 3 workout is designed to primarily engage the chest muscles using a machine.

The machine provides stability and support, allowing for controlled movements and targeted chest activation.

By adjusting the seat and handles, the machine ensures proper alignment and isolation of the chest muscles.

While the workout may also involve some activation of auxiliary muscles, the machine’s design primarily targets the chest.

Adjust the seat height and backrest of the chest press machine to a comfortable position.
Place your feet flat on the floor and grasp the handles with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Ensure your elbows are at a 90-degree angle and your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
Exhale and push the handles forward until your arms are fully extended, while keeping your back flat against the backrest.
Pause briefly at the end of the movement, feeling the contraction in your chest muscles.
Inhale and slowly return to the starting position, allowing your elbows to bend and the handles to move back towards your chest.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Position yourself correctly on the chest press machine by adjusting the seat height so that your feet are flat on the ground and your knees are at a 90-degree angle. This stable base will allow you to generate maximum power and engage your chest muscles effectively.
Before starting the exercise, make sure your back is firmly pressed against the backrest and your shoulders are relaxed. This will help maintain proper posture throughout the movement, preventing unnecessary strain on your back and shoulders, and ensuring that the focus remains on your chest.
As you begin the chest press, exhale and push the handles forward in a controlled manner, focusing on squeezing your chest muscles. Imagine you are trying to bring your hands together, feeling the tension in your pectoral muscles as they contract. This mind-muscle connection is crucial for engaging the chest effectively.
While performing the exercise, avoid locking your elbows at the top of the movement. Instead, maintain a slight bend in your elbows to keep tension on the chest muscles, preventing the triceps from taking over. This constant tension will maximize the engagement of your chest and promote muscle growth.
Lastly, remember to maintain a slow and controlled tempo throughout the exercise, both during the concentric (pushing) and eccentric (returning) phases. This deliberate pace allows you to fully engage your chest muscles and avoid
