Incline Bench Press - BodyCraft Strength Training System Exercise Manual

Incline Bench Press

Adjust the seat back to one of the holes in the INCLINE position. Your
comfort will determine which hole exactly. Adjust the seat so that the
bench press handles are even with your chest. Sit back in the seat so
that the seat back forces a forward lean. The bench press handles should
be adjusted for a comfortable stretch, about even with the front of your
chest. Too far back can cause excessive strain on your shoulders! Grab
the handles with an overhand grip and press away from your chest.
Return slowly.
Variations: Use an underhand grip, or neutral grip. Changing the grip
does emphasize different areas of the muscle group.
Primary muscles worked: Pectorals Major and Minor (chest), Anterior
Deltoids (shoulder), Triceps (back of the arm).
