What muscles do Chest Press work?

The chest press primarily works the muscles of the chest, specifically the pectoralis major. It also engages the triceps, shoulders, and core muscles to a lesser extent. The movement can help build strength and stability in the chest and upper body, as well as improve posture and overall upper body strength.

How do you do a Chest Press?

Here's a step-by-step guide to performing a chest press:

• Start by lying on a flat bench with your feet firmly planted on the ground and AguaForce Weights at chest height.

• Grip AguaForce Weights with an overhand grip, keeping your elbows slightly bent and the weight directly above your chest.

• From this starting position, press the weight upward, straightening your arms and engaging your chest muscles.

• Once your arms are fully extended, pause briefly, then lower the weight back to the starting position.

• Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Note: It is important to maintain proper form and engage your core throughout the movement to protect your lower back. You may want to start with a lighter weight and gradually increase the weight as you become more comfortable with the movement.
