Incline Barbell Bench Press

How to start

• Lie on an incline bench angled at 30-60° (the steeper the incline, the greater the stress on the upper chest).
• Hold the bar with your hands equal distance apart from the end, keep your palms facing forwards. Remove the bar from the  rack  and position it directly over your collarbone with your arms fully straight.

The right movement of the exercise

• Bend your arms, allowing your elbows to travel down to the sides, and slowly lower the bar down to your upper part of your chest.
• The bar should just touch the upper part of your chest below your collarbone. Hold for a 1-2 seconds.
• Push the bar back to the starting position.
