CHEST

Converging Incline Press

This exercise is very similar to the Cable Incline Bench Press, but your

arms converge to the middle as you press. Adjust the seat back to the

upright position and the Functional Training Arms to chest height.

Grab the cable handles with an overhand grip and press away from

your chest, upward at about a 45 degree angle, while bringing your

hands together. Return slowly.

Variations:

Use an underhand grip, neutral grip, or even twist your

wrists (like a karate punch). You can also vary the width of the Func-

tional Training Arms. Changing the grip and width does emphasize

different areas of the muscle group. As with all cable oriented exer-

cises, this exercise can be performed one arm at a time.

Primary muscles worked:

Pectorals Major and Minor (chest), Anterior

Deltoids (shoulder), Triceps (back of the arm).
