incline bench press angle and technique for chest by WS Fitness and Bodybuilding
Incline Bench Press:
The incline bench press is an upper body strength exercise that targets the chest, triceps and shoulder. Performing this move on an incline allows for targeted stress on the upper portion of the chest. The incline bench press also makes it safer and more joint friendly for your shoulders.
Incline bench press angle:
Position your body on an incline bench on a 30o to 40 o angle (30 is preferable as anything higher than that will use your shoulder muscles too much). Take a barbell with an overhand grip that's shoulder width apart and hold it above your chest. Extend arms upward, locking out elbows.
EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. The incline bench press works the upper chest. Set up for the incline bench press by setting the bench to an angle of between 30o to 40 o degrees (30 is preferable as anything higher than that will use your shoulder muscles too much) Don't set the bench angle too high. 30 degrees is enough to hit your upper chest and not overly involve your shoulders.
2. Lay back on the bench with your feet firmly on the floor and grip the barbell with a wider than shoulder width overhand grip .Take the barbell off the rack. Slowly lower the barbell down to the top of your chest as far as possible without touching your body (Don't "bounce" the bar off your chest. Keep the rep timing slow and control the weight, specifically on the way down. Lowering the weight should take about twice as long as raising it).
3. Pause, then slowly raise the back to the starting position. Do not lock your elbows out.
4. You should lower the bar straight up and down to your upper chest.
5. Repeat for desired reps.
Incline Press Chest Workout Train Muscle: Pectoralis
Step 1: Lift the barbell off of the rack and slowly lower it to about 3 inches above your clavicle (Just below your Adam's apple) and then press the bar back to the start position.
Step 2:DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR TO YOUR UPPER CHEST (this causes unneeded stress on your shoulder joints and takes the tension away from your upper pee muscles, which are what want to doing the work!).
Step 3:sure that when you are lowering the bar that you do so in a slow and controlled fashion. Conversely, when you press the bar upward, you want to do so in an explosive fashion.
