chest presses
Horizontal pushing exercise
Chest presses are strength exercises that work the pectoral muscles by pushing weight away from the chest.
The movement can be performed lying on a bench with a barbell or dumbbells, seated at a machine, or standing with resistance bands.
I do three sets of chest presses on Mondays.
The singular form typically refers to a specific machine: the chest press.
