Lever Incline Chest Press

Category
Chest
Target
Pectorals

The incline angle on this chest press biases the upper chest and front delts more than a flat press does, mirroring what an incline barbell press does but with a fixed, stabilized bar path. Useful for hitting that upper-chest angle without needing to balance dumbbells or worry about shoulder positioning under load.

How to Do the Lever Incline Chest Press

  1. Adjust the seat and backrest of the leverage machine to a comfortable position.
  2. Sit on the machine with your back against the backrest and your feet flat on the floor.
  3. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip and position your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  4. Push the handles forward and away from your body until your arms are fully extended.
  5. Pause for a moment, then slowly bend your elbows and lower the handles back towards your chest.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Muscles Worked

The Lever Incline Chest Press primarily targets the Pectorals, with Shoulders as the primary synergist muscle group, along with the Triceps.
