Exercise Execution Guide

Starting Position

Lying on the inclined bench with your feet flat on the floor. Grab the bar with a grip wider than shoulder width. Your forearms should be perpendicular to the ground.

Execution

Unhook the bar and slowly lower it to the top of your chest. As you contract your chest, push the load upwards until your arms are almost straight.

During the whole movement:

• Keep your elbows on the outside to put maximum stress on your chest and minimum stress on your front shoulders and triceps.

• Keep your shoulder blades flat against the bench.
