Incline chest press
This exercise is similar to the previous one (chest
press), but the inclined backrest angle
concentrates the work more on the upper part
of the chest.
Muscles used: pectorals, anterior deltoid, triceps
Movement:
- position the backrest in the second hole
- sit on the bench and position the barbell at a
slightly lower height than the length of your
stretched arm
- fit the discs symmetrically on the barbell pin
and block them with safety catches
- sit on the bench, keeping your back firmly
against the backrest and grasp the barbell
with a wide grip, at the outer limit of the
textured section
- unhook the barbell by rotating it counter
clockwise and bring it down to your chest,
so that it touches the top of your pectoral
muscle; keep your elbows wide apart, out
from the torso
- push the barbell up, keeping your elbows
wide apart, then go back to the starting
position; the barbell trajectory corresponds
with the top part of the chest.
