  2. Targeted Muscle Groups:
    • primary: triceps, chest

How to perform?

The Decline Machine Press is a compound exercise that primarily targets the chest muscles, particularly the pectoralis major. This exercise is performed on a machine that allows you to press a weight upward and forward, against gravity. The decline angle of the machine press emphasizes the lower portion of the chest muscles, which can be difficult to target with other chest exercises. The triceps are also heavily involved in this movement, while the anterior deltoids assist in the pressing motion. Additionally, the abs are engaged to stabilize the core throughout the movement, and the biceps act as stabilizers.
