Machine Bench Press
The Machine Bench Press is a strength movement that targets your chest. Here's how to do it with clean form.
How to do the Machine Bench Press
- Adjust the seat so the handles are at mid-chest height when you sit back.
- Grip the handles with a shoulder-width grip and press forward to full arm extension.
- Return until you feel a stretch across your chest; don't let the weight stack touch down.
- Keep your back flat against the pad throughout — no arching off the seat.
