How to do it
- Set the bench to about 30 degrees and lie back.
- Grip the bar a bit wider than shoulders, shoulder blades back.
- Unrack and lower the bar under control to your upper chest.
- Press the bar back up over your collarbone.
Beginner tips
- Keep your shoulder blades pinned back.
- Don't set the bench too steep.
- Lower slowly to the upper chest, not the neck.
Keep in mind: Start light to groove the bar path.
