How to do it
- Set the bench to about 30°. Steeper and your front delts take over from your chest.
- Lower the bar to your upper chest, just below the collarbone.
- Keep your shoulder blades pinned so the bench takes the load, not your shoulders.
Common mistakes
- Setting the bench too steep — above 45° this is a shoulder press with extra steps.
