Lie on an incline bench set at an angle between 45 to 60 degrees. Take an overhand grip on the bar with your hands approximately one hand grip (each side) more than shoulder width apart.
1. Inhale and lower the bar until it reaches your upper chest at the base of your neck.
2. Press the bar back up until your arms are fully extended or straightened. Exhale as you complete the movement. Repeat the next repetition.
Notes:
This exercise works the upper pectorals, anterior deltoids, triceps, and serratus anterior.
You can also use a Smith machine to perform this exercise.
