Description

The cable one arm incline press on exercise ball is a unilateral exercise that targets the chest and shoulders while also engaging your core and stability muscles due to the use of the exercise ball.

Starting Position

Sit on the exercise ball with your feet firmly planted on the ground, hold the cable handle in one hand, and position yourself on an incline bench with your back supported.

Technical Execution

Extend your arm to press the cable handle upwards while maintaining stability and control. Lower the weight back down with control to complete the repetition.

Range of Motion

Ensure a full range of motion by bringing the handle close to your chest at the bottom of the movement and fully extending your arm at the top.

Variations

You can perform this exercise using a dumbbell instead of a cable, or try the movement without the incline bench for a different challenge.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include arching the back excessively, using momentum to lift the weight, and inadequate stabilization of the core.

Practical Advice

Focus on maintaining proper form throughout the exercise, control the movement both on the way up and down, and engage your core muscles to stabilize the body.

Additional Notes

This exercise is great for improving balance and coordination as well as developing unilateral strength.
