Cable Chest Press

A standing chest press on the cable machine, providing constant tension while the staggered stance demands core stability.

How to do it

1. Set the cables to chest height and face away from the machine.
2. Grip a handle in each hand and step forward into a staggered stance.
3. Press the handles forward until your arms are extended.
4. Squeeze your chest at the top.
5. Return under control and repeat.

Tips

• Press both handles evenly to avoid twisting your torso.
• Brace your core against the backward pull of the stack.
• Step forward enough that the cables stay taut throughout each rep.
