Benchpress (Incline)

Free Weights: Yes Weight Machine: No

The Incline Bench Press helps strengthen the upper part of your chest. It also targets the deltoid and tricep muscles.

• Lie down comfortably on an inclined bench press. Make sure that both your feet are rested firmly on the ground.

• Your head, back and shoulders should all rest firmly on the bench.

• Hold the weights tightly and then straighten your hands. Your palms should not face inwards.

• The weights should not be held over the shoulders. They should be over your chest.

• Hold the weights in that position for a few seconds and then lower them slowly to your chest. Inhale deeply during this process and hold your breath after inhaling.

• Push the weights upwards again once they reach your chest. Start exhaling once you cross the barrier of maximum resistance.
