Barbell Incline Bench Press

How to do it

1. Set an adjustable bench to an incline of roughly 30 to 45 degrees. Lie back on the bench with your feet flat on the floor. Grasp the barbell with a grip that is slightly wider than shoulder width. Lift the bar off the rack and hold it above you with your arms extended. This will be your starting position.
2. As you breathe in, slowly lower the bar to your upper chest, keeping your elbows at about a 45-degree angle to your body.
3. After a brief pause, push the bar back to the starting position as you exhale. Focus on pushing with your upper chest muscles. Lock your arms at the top.
4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
5. When you are done, place the bar back in the rack.
