How to do it
- Hook your legs firmly before you unrack — you cannot fix your position mid-set.
- Lower the bar to your lower chest, below the nipple line.
- Have a spotter or use a rack: getting out from under a decline press alone is awkward.
Common mistakes
- Going heavier than your flat press because the range is shorter, then losing control.
