How to do Pec Deck

The pec deck is a seated machine fly that brings two padded arms together in front of your chest. The machine controls the path, so you can focus on squeezing the chest without balancing weights, which makes it a common finisher after pressing.

How to do Pec Deck, step by step

Set the seat so the handles are at chest height and sit with your back flat against the pad.
Take the handles with a slight bend in your elbows, letting your arms open out to the sides.
Bring the handles together in front of your chest, keeping your shoulders down and back.
Pause, then let your arms open slowly until you feel a stretch across your chest.
