How to do Incline Barbell Bench Press
- Set the bench to about 30 to 45 degrees and lie back with feet planted flat on the floor.
- Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder width and pull the shoulder blades back into the pad.
- Unrack the bar to full arm extension with the wrists stacked directly over the elbows.
- Lower the bar slowly to the upper chest with elbows tracked at about 60 to 75 degrees from the torso.
- Pause briefly at the chest, keeping a tight upper back and full body tension.
- Drive the bar back up by pressing through the upper chest and triceps until the arms lock out.
