How to do Machine Chest Press:

Step 1: Sit down on the chest press machine. Select the weight you want to work with.
Step 2: Step on the lever to bring the handles forward. Grab the handles and fully extend your arms.
Step 3: Grasp the handles in a palms-down grip. Lift your elbows so that your upper arms are parallel to the floor to the side of your torso. Push the handles forward and extend your arms; this is the starting position.
Step 4: Move the handles back towards you as you inhale.
Step 5: Push the handles away from you as you flex your pecs. Hold the contraction for a second and move back to the starting position.
Step 6: Repeat for the number of reps in your set.
Step 7: When you have finished, step on the lever again and move the handles back to their original position.
