Incline Bench Press

Set an incline bench to 30-45 degrees. Lie on the bench with your feet flat on the floor. Grip the barbell with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

1. Lift the bar from the rack and hold it straight over your chest with your arms locked.
2. Lower the bar slowly to your upper chest, keeping your elbows tucked in at a 45-degree angle.
3. Press the bar back up to the starting position until your arms are fully extended.

• Keep your back arched and your shoulder blades retracted.
• Maintain a stable base with your feet firmly on the ground.
• Control the movement throughout the entire range of motion.

• Bouncing the bar off your chest.
• Lifting your hips off the bench.
• Flaring your elbows out too wide.
