Inclined Bench Press is an important exercise to develop the upper part of the chest.It is an integral part of any bodybuilding workout for the chest.It helps to gain lean muscle and is extremely useful for those who want to build muscles.This exercise also works on the shoulder muscles and triceps.
- Inclined bench press is similar to the flat bench press in technique,the only difference being that you now lie on an inclined bench rather than a flat one.
- Lie flat on the bench with your back against the bench.Keep your feet firmly planted on the floor.
- Grab the bar with your hands placed slightly greater than shoulder width apart.Take the help of a spotter to lift the bar over your chest.
- Bend you elbows a little,making sure not to lock them up.Inhale as you bring the bar to your chest,near the point where abdomen meets chest.
- Exhale as you push up.
- Keep in mind that your feet should be firmly planed on the ground,so that you do not lose balance.
- Also keep in mind that your back should be planted firmly onto the bench.Make sure you dont arch your back while performing the exercise.
