This month on Trainer Tip Tuesday we will be discussing how to properly use the chest press machine and make sure you are being safe and effective while doing so. The chest press machine is one of the most effective tools for building the strength and function of your chest and shoulder muscles, but you need to make sure that it is being used correctly in order to minimize potential risks. Today, we want to talk to you about how to get more of your muscles firing when using this machine.
One common issue we see is people trying to perform what they think is the chest press motion of pushing their hands straight out. However, if you want to get more of your muscles contracting, especially your chest muscles, there is something else you should be trying to do with your hands, too.
If you want to use the chest press machine to build the strength and size of your chest muscles, this is a crucial concept to understand.
Check out all of the details in this week’s episode of Trainer Tip Tuesday, and be sure to tune back in next week as we discuss another consideration when using the chest press machine.
