Decline Bench Press

General And Specifics

• if you use a heavy weight, also use a squat rack
• a partner can help you with the last repetitions

Starting Position

• lay down onto the bench evenly, it is adjusted to 20-30 degrees downwards
• pick up the barbell with both hands a bit wider than shoulder width
• stretch your arms
• fix your feet (in the holder)

Correct Execution

• let the barbell slowly sink down towards your chest
• push the weight up
• do not bend the wrists, do not make a hollow-back
• do not hold up the head
• repeat

tip for the workout

• you can slow down the tempo when you let sink down the weight, this increases the tension in the triceps
