CHEST
Converging Incline Press
This exercise is very similar to the Cable Incline Bench Press, but your
arms converge to the middle as you press. Adjust the seat back to the
upright position and the Functional Training Arms to chest height.
Grab the cable handles with an overhand grip and press away from
your chest, upward at about a 45 degree angle, while bringing your
hands together. Return slowly.
Variations: Use an underhand grip, neutral grip, or even twist your
wrists (like a karate punch). You can also vary the width of the Func-
tional Training Arms. Changing the grip and width does emphasize
different areas of the muscle group. As with all cable oriented exer-
cises, this exercise can be performed one arm at a time.
Primary muscles worked: Pectorals Major and Minor (chest), Anterior
Deltoids (shoulder), Triceps (back of the arm).
