How to Incline Hammer Bench Press

Starting Position

1. Sit back against the incline bench, adjusting your position so that your chest is in line with the handles.

2. Keep your elbows close to your torso and slightly lift your chest to secure your position.

Proper Form

1. Push the machine handle up and forward while slowly extending your arms.

2. Raise it until your arms are almost straight and the handle gets close to your chest, then pause for a moment.

3. Slowly bend your elbows and gently lower the handle back to the starting position.

4. Control the movement so that both arms move at the same speed and repeat.

Breathing Technique

1. Exhale when you push the handle up.

2. Inhale as you slowly lower the handle.

Precautions

1. Stop with a slight allowance rather than completely locking your arms.

2. Keep your shoulders down by pressing your back against the bench completely.

3. Push the handle straight ahead to avoid bending your wrists.
