Cable Decline Bench Press

Form Cues

• Place a decline bench centered between the two cable towers.

• Set both pulleys at a height slightly below the bench level and attach a D-handle to each.

• Secure your legs in the decline bench leg pads and lie back.

• Start with a handle in each hand at lower chest level, palms facing forward.

• Press both handles up and slightly inward until arms are extended above your lower chest.

• Squeeze the lower chest at the top.

• Lower with control back to lower chest level, feeling a stretch across the sternal pecs.

• The decline angle plus cable tension provides a strong stimulus for the lower chest.

• Keep shoulder blades retracted into the bench.
