Flat Bench Press (Cable)

Also known as: Flat Bench Press (Cable).

A chest press on a flat bench using two low cables.

How to perform this exercise

1. Lie on a flat bench with head, shoulders and pelvis supported and both feet planted. Hold a D-handle beside each side of the chest with bent elbows and neutral wrists; each handle connects to its own low pulley outside the bench.
2. Press both handles above the chest, then lower in a controlled chest-press arc with forearms aligned under the handles. Keep both cables clear of the bench and body.
