Cable incline bench press

The cable incline bench press is an upper body exercise that targets the pectoral muscles, particularly the upper chest. By using cables, it provides constant tension throughout the movement, which can lead to greater muscle activation. This exercise is performed on an incline bench, which shifts the focus to the upper portion of the pectorals.
