Lever Standing Chest Press

Category
Chest
Target
Pectorals

Pressing from a standing position on this chest machine keeps the legs and core engaged for stability while the arms handle the actual pressing work, which is a slightly different demand than a seated version where the bench does all the stabilizing. A solid option when you want chest work without sitting down.

How to Do the Lever Standing Chest Press

  1. Adjust the seat height and position yourself on the machine with your feet flat on the ground.
  2. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip and position your hands at chest level.
  3. Push the handles forward until your arms are fully extended, keeping your elbows slightly bent.
  4. Pause for a moment, then slowly bring the handles back towards your chest, maintaining control throughout the movement.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Muscles Worked

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