How to do Cable Bench Press
- Place a flat bench between two cable stations and set both pulleys to the lowest position with single handles.
- Lie back on the bench and press both handles up so your arms are extended directly over your chest.
- Lower the handles to chest level with the elbows tracking at about 60 to 75 degrees from your torso.
- Pause briefly at the bottom with a deep chest stretch and a tight upper back pressed into the bench.
- Press both handles back up in a slight arc until they meet above your chest at full arm extension.
- Squeeze the chest at the top and repeat for 8 to 12 controlled reps.
