Bench Press, Barbell, Inclined

Type: Chest
The inclined barbell bench press targets the upper part of the chest muscle and also the triceps muscle. It's performed in a very similar way to the inclined dumbbell chest press but using a barbell instead. Using a barbell and the correct bench press equipment means that you can handle more weight with your bench press exercise.
Level :  Equipment : Yes
Upper Chest

Triceps

Bench Press, Barbell, Inclined Steps:

Step 1:
Adjust a gym bench to a 45 deg incline.

Step 2:
Sit back on the bench with feet firmly on the floor.

Step 3:
Lift the barbell from the rack. If you are using a heavy weight you may need a spotter to assist you.

Step 4:
With the arms straight the bar should be positioned directly over the chest, in line with the elbows and palms facing forwards.

Step 5:
Brace the abdominals to maintain a straight back.

Step 6:
Breath in and slowly lower the bar back down to the chest in a controlled movement.

Step 7:
Breath out and press the bar up in a straight line by extending the elbows fully.

Top Tip:

Always ensure that you have a spotter with you when you are working close to your repetition max.
