Wide Grip Incline Bench Press Exercise

Important: DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR TO YOUR CHEST (this causes unneeded stress on your shoulder joints and takes the tension away from your pec muscles, which are what we want to be doing the work!).

• Lie on your back on a bench set at a low incline and grab the bar with a wide overhand grip.
• Lift the bar so it's over your eyes.
• Slowly lower the weights to your chest, pause, and then push it back up over your eyes.

Repeat this movement for as many repetitions as you can until failure. Remember to always use a spotter when performing this and almost every other free weight exercise!
