How to do a cable incline bench press

Setup:

1. Incline Bench and Cables: Adjust an incline bench (30-45 degrees) between two dual cable pulley stations. Set the cables to a low setting and attach a D-handle to each side.
2. Grip: Lie back on the bench and grasp a D-handle in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
3. Starting Position: Extend your arms, holding the handles above your shoulders with a slight bend in your elbows.

The Lift:

1. Lower the Handles: Inhale and slowly lower the handles towards your upper chest, just below your collarbone, keeping your elbows at a 45-degree angle.
2. Touch and Pause (Optional): You can lightly touch the handles to your chest, but this isn't mandatory.
3. Press Upward: Exhale and press the handles back to the starting position, extending your arms. Avoid locking out your elbows.

Tips:

• Chest Engagement: Focus on contracting your chest muscles throughout the movement.
• Slow and Controlled: Avoid using momentum. Perform each repetition with a controlled tempo.
• Elbow Position: Maintain a 45-degree angle with your elbows throughout the movement.
