How to Incline Bench Press

Incline Bench Press gif

Incline Bench Press muscles worked: Chest

Form

  1. 1. Slowly lower the barbell until it touches the upper part of your chest. The barbell should touch higher than in a regular bench press.
  2. 2. At this time, your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor.
  3. 3. Slowly lift the barbell back to the starting position.

Coach's Comment

  1. 1. If the barbell does not touch your chest, please lower it as much as possible without overdoing it.
  2. 2. Be careful not to let your shoulders come forward of your chest, as this can put strain on your shoulders.
  3. 3. Please be careful not to let your hips come off the bench.

How to Spoto Press

Spoto Press muscles worked: Chest

Form

  1. 1. Slowly lower the bar and stop a few centimeters above your chest (keeping it from touching your chest).
  2. 2. Hold that position for about 1 second while maintaining tension in your chest and arms.
  3. 3. Push the bar back up with your chest strength to return to the starting position.
  4. 4. Repeat in the same rhythm without any bouncing.

Coach's Comment

  1. 1. Do not use rebound in the stopping phase; rely solely on muscle strength.
  2. 2. Instead of being greedy for weight, start with a manageable load that you can control.
  3. 3. Keep your core tight to prevent excessive bending of the back, and if possible, work with a spotter.
