HOW TO DO MACHINE SUPINE BENCH PRESS

  1. Lie face up with your head, upper back, and pelvis supported by the bench.
  2. Plant your feet on the floor or the designated supports.
  3. Adjust the starting position so the handles begin around mid-chest level and the starting depth feels comfortable for your shoulders.
  4. Grip the handles with neutral wrists, keep your shoulder blades stable against the bench, and press along the machine's path until your arms are extended without forcefully locking the elbows.
