PowerBlock Incline Bench Press

23 Aug
Muscle Groups
  • Chest
  • Shoulders
  • Triceps
Purposes
  • Chest strength.
  • Front deltoid strength.
  • Triceps strength.

Overview

The PowerBlock incline bench press works the pectoral muscles, emphasizing the upper region. The anterior deltoids and triceps assist the chest muscles in the incline press. Incline dumbbell bench presses can be used for pectoral definition and size. If heavy loads are used to induce hypertrophy, use a spotter for safety.

Description

  • Lying on an inclined bench, feet firmly on the ground, hold the powerblocks with straight arms toward the ceiling.
  • Keep your chest up at all time, and allow the lower back to maintain a natural arch (not excessive).
  • Lower the PowerBlocks to the sides until they are level with the top of the chest.
  • Press them back up to straight arms, preventing them from touching at the top.

Mistakes

  • Over-arching the lower back.
  • Lifting the hips off the bench.
  • Pushing the head back against the bench.
