This variation increases intensity and muscle activation by adding a hold at the peak of the contraction. Excellent for improving muscular endurance and mind-muscle connection.
Set yourself up in the machine as you would for the classic version, with your back firmly against the pad.
Bring the handles together with a controlled movement, focusing on a strong pectoral contraction.
Once the handles meet, pause the movement and hold the position for 2-3 seconds. Focus on squeezing your chest muscles throughout the hold.
After the hold, slowly and controllably return the handles back to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining strict control and the hold on each rep.
