CHEST

Barbell Decline Bench Press

IntermediateBarbell

A bench press performed on a decline bench, mainly training the chest with support from the triceps and shoulders. The downward angle shifts emphasis onto the lower portion of the pecs, making it a useful complement to flat and incline pressing.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie back on a decline bench, squeeze your shoulder blades together, and secure your feet under the leg pads.

  2. 2

    Keep your head, shoulders, and glutes on the bench throughout.

  3. 3

    Grip the bar just outside shoulder width and unrack it so your arms are straight over your shoulders.

  4. 4

    Brace your core and lower the bar to your lower chest with elbows about 45 degrees from your torso.

  5. 5

    Gently touch your lower chest, then press the bar back up as you exhale.

  6. 6

    Lower under control rather than bouncing, and keep your wrists neutral.
