How to do the Standing Cable Chest Press

  1. 1

    Position dual pulleys to chest height and select an appropriate weight. Stand a foot or two in front of the cables, holding one in each hand. You can stagger your stance for better stability.

  2. 2

    Position the upper arm at a 90 degree angle with the shoulder blades together. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Keeping the rest of the body stationary, extend through the elbows to press the handles forward, drawing them together in front of you.

  4. 4

    Pause at the top of the motion, and return to the starting position.
