Primary muscles: Chest

Secondary muscles: Shoulders, Triceps

How to do it

  1. Load an appropriate weight onto the pins and adjust the seat for your height. The handles should be near the bottom of the pectorals at the beginning of the motion. Your chest and head should be up and your shoulder blades retracted. This will be your starting position.
  2. Press the handles forward by extending through the elbow.
  3. After a brief pause at the top, return the weight just above the start position, keeping tension on the muscles by not returning the weight to the stops until the set is complete.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Leverage Decline Chest Press from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Chest volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
