How to do Incline Bench Press

  1. Set the bench between 30 and 45 degrees and grip just wider than shoulders.
  2. Lower the bar to your upper chest, just below the collarbones.
  3. Press to lockout, keeping your butt on the bench.
Where reps get stolen

Butt lift-off. Bridging off the bench turns your incline press into a bad flat press.
