CHEST
Converging Bench Press
This exercise is very similar to the Cable 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. 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 Function-
al Training Arms. Changing the grip and width does emphasize different
areas of the muscle group.
Primary muscles worked: Pectorals Major and Minor (chest), Anterior
Deltoids (shoulder), Triceps (back of the arm).
