CHEST

Cable Bench Press

Adjust the seat back to the upright position and the Functional Train-

ing Arms to chest height. Sit upright, grab the cable handles with an

overhand grip, and press away from your chest. 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 exercises,

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).
