DECLINE BENCH PRESS

Purpose: The Barbell Decline Bench Press is one of my favorite exercises for building strength, power, and mass in your middle and lower pectorals (chest) and Triceps.

Muscles Involved:
Middle and Lower Pectorals
Triceps


	Lie back on a decline bench with legs locked in to hold your body in place. Your grip should be wide enough that at your midpoint your arms should bend at 90 degree angles (I usually try to line the outside of my hands with the smooth lines on the bar). Lift the bar from the rack and hold it at arms length above you.

	Proceed to slowly lower the bar. Shown here is the midpoint of the exercise.

	Lower the bar until it reaches 1-2" from your chest (This prevents you from slamming the bar against your chest which can cause injury and can help you cheat) and stop before proceeding to push it back to the starting point.
