barbell incline close grip bench press

Set up an incline bench at a 45-degree angle.

Lie down on the bench with your feet flat on the ground.

Grasp the barbell with a close grip, slightly narrower than shoulder-width apart.

Unrack the barbell and lower it slowly towards your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body.

Pause for a moment when the barbell touches your chest.

Push the barbell back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms.

Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
