Hey there, the only chest press my gym has is a old life fitness press and for some reason I just can’t press with my chest. I know it’s hard to say without a video but I’ve tried every seat height and grip width and no matter what I do my triceps takes over after I press further than a few centimeters (I also feel the burn only in my lateral head). It just seems that the path of the handles if very strange.
What I noticed is that my elbow seems to shoot up. I usually press with my elbows at 60ish degree but on this machine after I press a few centimeters it shoots up to about 90 degrees (doesn’t happen with dumbbells etc)
