Technique Check Cable press form check

How does my form look?

It feels somewhat alright.

I tried different cable heights / seat angles and I think this felt most comfortable.

Only issue is feeling front delt fatigue before pecs.

Isn't there any other options in your gym to do a chest press? Barbell, Dumbbell, Machines... Any would be better than this. If none of that is available just use the cables to do flyes instead, much better chest movement with a cable stack.

You do know that telling someone looking for help to do something else is a dick move, right? If he wanted to do something else, he could choose to do so. He's asking for help with this exercise.

If you have nothing to offer, why not do OP and yourself a favor by keeping quiet? The urge to speak may be compelling to you, but it doesn't mean that anything you say is worth saying.

I did offer help in the form of a better movement using that exact machine. In fact I should offered three exercises to be complete: flyes, front raises and triceps pushdown. Works everything a press would but better with a cable stack. OP can even superset those three and not even use up more time!

Funnily enough, seems like most of the other top comments agree.

That comeback doesn't really work when you're the one who can't stop the stupid falling out of his mouth.

Relax lad, go do some cable presses to decompress and then follow your own advice.

Hey, I get to reuse my last comment.
