Instructions

Cable Seated Front Press

  1. Setup:

    • Adjust the cable machine to a low position.

    • Sit on the bench with your back against the support.

    • Grab the handles of the cable with both hands, using an overhand grip (palms facing away from you).

  2. Positioning:

    • Keep your feet flat on the floor, approximately shoulder-width apart.

    • Pull the cables towards your chest, so your elbows are bent and your hands are at shoulder level.

    • Your elbows should be slightly below shoulder height.

  3. Movement:

    • Press the handles upward and outward until your arms are fully extended above your head.

    • Ensure your core is engaged and your back remains straight against the bench during the movement.

    • Hold the position for a moment at the top.

  4. Return:

    • Slowly lower the handles back down to the starting position at shoulder level, keeping control throughout the movement.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Aim for 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions, resting for 30-60 seconds between sets.

Tips:

  • Start with a lighter weight until you are comfortable with the movement.

  • Focus on smooth, controlled movements to avoid injury.

  • Keep your shoulders relaxed and away from your ears throughout the exercise.
