Incline Chest Press

Paige Waehner

1. Lie down on an incline bench or on an inclined step (as shown) and begin with the weights in each hand straight up over the chest, palms facing out.
2. Bend the elbows and lower the arms down until the elbows are just below the chest (arms should look like goal posts).
3. Press the weights back up without locking the elbows and bring them close together.
4. Repeat for 1 to 3 sets of 8 to 16 reps.

Tips

• Keep the abs contracted throughout the movement to protect your back.
• Keep the motion slow and controlled and try not to use momentum.
