How to do it
- 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.
- As you breathe in, slowly lower the bar to your upper chest, keeping your elbows at about a 45-degree angle to your body.
- 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.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
- When you are done, place the bar back in the rack.
