STRAIGHT-ARM PEC DECK
Lots of bodybuilders love the pec deck as a finishing movement to their
chest muscle routines. And it can be a great movement - if you do it
right. Unfortunately, many are lessening the effectiveness of the
movement when they move their upper torsos away from the vertical back
pad and bend forward to squeeze the pads together.
Try the
straight arm pec deck. Keep your back firmly against
the vertical backrest. With the pads resting against the inside of your
arms, fully extend each arm (which will be out to your sides when you
begin the exercise) and keep them fully extended throughout the straight
arm pec deck
exercise. At the top of the movement (when the pads are directly in
front of you), be sure to touch the pads together and hold the
contraction for a count of two or three. No set rep range is used on this -
just do as
many reps as possible.
