What is this machine?

On a cable machine the resistance stays even through the whole range of motion, unlike with free weights.

⚠️ Most common mistake: Leaning the torso forward to push the handles instead of pressing cleanly with the chest and arms. Letting the elbows flare wide to shoulder height, which strains the front shoulders. Allowing one arm to lead the press, creating uneven loading and shoulder asymmetry over time. Cutting the range short on the way back, missing the chest stretch that drives growth.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Chest. The Shoulders, Triceps assist.
