How to do it
Lie on an incline bench set at a 45 degree angle. Grip the barbell with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and hold the barbell directly above your chest with your arms fully extended.
Slowly lower the barbell to your upper chest, keeping your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your body.
Press the barbell back up to the starting position by extending your arms fully, focusing on using your chest.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then carefully rack the barbell back onto the bench press rack.
Form tips
Breathe steadily, exhaling as you press the barbell up and inhaling as you lower it down.
Maintain a firm grip on the barbell to ensure control and proper alignment.
Use a spotter if lifting heavy weights to ensure safety.
