CHEST

Single Arm Cable Press

BeginnerCable

A one-arm cable press that trains the chest, shoulders, and triceps together. The movement mimics throwing a punch, so it builds pressing power that transfers to combat sports and athletic pushing. Loading one side forces you to resist rotation and keep your trunk stable.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the pulley to roughly the height of your solar plexus and attach a single handle.

  2. 2

    Stand in front of the machine with one hand lined up with the cable, gripping the handle palm-in.

  3. 3

    Step out until the cable is under tension and drop into a shallow lunge.

  4. 4

    Keep your core tight, spine long, and eyes forward, extending the free arm out ahead of you.

  5. 5

    Press the handle forward like a punch while driving the free arm back.

  6. 6

    Pause briefly at full extension without twisting, then return with control and repeat on the other side.
