Band Incline Bench Press
The band bench press on an incline, the band run behind the backrest; the angle moves the work to the upper chest.
How to do it
Setup
Bench at 30–45°, the band around the backrest, handles at the shoulders.
Steps
- Press up to straight arms over the collarbones.
- Hold the top for a beat against the band.
- Bring the handles back to the shoulders under control.
Common mistakes
Pressing toward the knees: the hands finish over the collarbones. Band riding up the neck: set it low on the backrest. Back arching off the bench: glutes and shoulders stay down.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale on the press.
