Exercise The Right Way - The Vertical Chest Press

Author : Richard Mitchell

Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from the perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing the basic exercises that constitute the core of most bodybuilders' training regimes.


It is useful, therefore, to describe in detail the processes involved in actually doing these exercises. This will help beginners to start out using the correct techniques before moving on to potentially more dangerous heavy weights. If it also helps more experienced lifters to redress some of the little faults that have almost imperceptibly crept in over the years, all the better.


In this article we'll take a close look at the vertical chest press.


MUSCLES TARGETED: pectoralis major


STARTING POSITION


Sit down and lean back.
Grasp the handles with a closed, pronated grip.
Align handles with the nipples.
Push the handles away from the chest to a fully extended elbow position.
This is the starting point for all repetitions.


BACKWARD MOVEMENT


Allow the handles to slowly move backward until level with the chest.


FORWARD MOVEMENT


Push the handles away from the chest to the starting position.
Do not arch back or lock elbows.
Repeat or finish set.
