Incline Bench Press Instructions:
Set up your bench at a 30-45 degree angle. If you're using the smith machine line the bench up so that the bar touches your upper chest. Grip the barbell/bar with thumbs facing inwards and hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Take the barbell off the rack. Slowly lower the barbell down until it almost touches your chest, pause and raise to starting position without locking your elbows out. Repeat for desired reps.
Tips and Safety Advice:
Very important not to lock your elbows out at the top of the exercise, this takes the weight off your target muscles and allows the blood to escape. Don't let the bar touch your chest, ever. And make sure you're lowering the bar to the upper part of your chest.
