Incline bench press

Place the focus on the upper part of your chest by tilting the bench upwards.

Incline bench press
  • Set the bench at 30-45˚ and sit with your feet flat on the floor.
  • Grip the bar with hands wider than shoulder-width apart, brace your core muscles and remove the bar from the rack.
  • Hold the bar directly above your chest, elbows to the sides.
  • Lower the bar slowly to your chest and press up powerfully.
  • Don't arch your back.

Variation: Gym ball decline press-up

The additional wobble means your core gets a good workout as well as your upper chest, shoulders and triceps.
 

Variation: Incline dumb-bell press

Work both sides of your chest independently to prevent your stronger side doing all the work.
 

Variation: Incline Smith machine press

When you don't have a spotter to help you, the Smith machine lets you press heavy weights in safety.
