CHEST

Barbell Incline Bench Press

IntermediateBarbell

A bench press done on an inclined bench, which tilts the emphasis toward the upper chest and shoulders while still training the whole pressing pattern. It's a strong choice for adding fullness to the top of the chest that a flat press tends to miss.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the bench to a 45 to 60 degree incline, lie back, and squeeze your shoulder blades together.

  2. 2

    Keep your head, shoulders, and glutes on the bench and feet flat under your knees.

  3. 3

    Grip the bar just outside shoulder width and lift it so your arms are straight over your shoulders.

  4. 4

    Brace your core and lower the bar to your upper chest with elbows around 45 degrees from your torso.

  5. 5

    Gently touch your chest, then press the bar back up as you exhale.

  6. 6

    Lower under control instead of bouncing, and keep your wrists neutral.
