Decline Bench Press Chest Exercise

Video Transcript

The next exercise I’m going to demonstrate is a decline bench press. It’s a little bit challenging. The bench press is the most basic exercise, so if this is too difficult for you go ahead, stay with the basic bench press, and work yourself up to doing the decline. You’re going to lock your feet into the footpads. Typically, you want to keep your feet flexed for more support. Navel to spine. Lower yourself down. Watch your head so that you don’t hit the bar. Keep a neutral alignment in your spine. Again, you don’t want to over arch as you’re pressing the weight over your head. Your head, neck, and back are in one line. It’s a kind of awkward, since you’re lying close the floor. You’re working a little bit more against gravity. Grab a hold so that your hands are even on both sides. Exhale as you press. Bring in that bar right by your chest, over your chest, inhale as you lower, exhale press. Loose grip on the bar and exhale press. Again, this is a free weight so it requires more balance and more control. Navel to spine. Exhale press. Inhale lower. Exhale press. Very good.
