CHEST

Cable Decline Bench Press

Adjust the seat back to one of the holes in the INCLINE position.

Your comfort will determine which hole exactly. Adjust the Function-

al Training Arms to chest height. Sit back in the seat so that the seat

back forces a forward lean. Grab the cable handles with an overhand

grip and press away from your chest, parallel to the floor. 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).
