Execution

Place the bench in an inclined position, between 15º and 45º, ideally between 30º and 45º to maximize the work of the upper chest area without putting too much pressure on the shoulders.

Lying on the bench with your head and back well supported, feet firmly on the floor, hold the bar in a similar way to a flat bench press and lower yourself in a controlled manner, then returning to the starting position.

Common mistakes

  • Bench with too much inclination.
  • Hunch your back.
  • Swing the bar on the way up.
  • Overweight.

Variants

  • Incline Dumbbell Chest Press.
