#Info – Pec Deck
The Pec Deck is excellent for isolating the chest muscles. To maximize benefits, ensure your elbows are slightly bent and aligned with your shoulders—avoid locking them to reduce joint strain. A common mistake is using excessive weight, which can compromise form and lead to injury. Start with a manageable weight and focus on controlled movements. For beginners, using lighter weights with higher reps can build endurance, while advanced users may increase weight for muscle growth. Adjust the seat height so handles are at chest level. Lastly, maintain a neutral spine and avoid leaning forward, which shifts focus away from the chest.
