This machine is essential for developing strength and muscle mass in the pectorals, while also improving the strength of the shoulders and triceps. It is ideal for those who want an effective chest workout without the risks associated with free weights.

3. Grip: Grasp the handles with a firm grip and your hands at shoulder width.
4. Execution of movement: Push the handles forward until your arms are fully extended, keeping your elbows slightly bent.
5. Contraction: Hold the contraction for one second, concentrating on compressing your pectorals.
6. Return to starting position: Slowly release the movement, maintaining control, until you return to the starting position.
