How To Do A Decline Barbell Bench Press Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
The Decline Barbell Bench Press is a great way to target the lower portion of your chest.
To get started:
- Sit down at a decline bench, secure your shins underneath the pad, and slowly lean back to place your back against the bench pad.
- Grip the barbell with an overhand grip, just outside shoulder width, and lift the bar from the rack.
- With your abs engaged, chest contracted, and arms perpendicular to the floor, slowly bend your elbows to lower the barbell to reach your lower chest.
- Reverse the movement by pressing the barbell back to the starting position, maintaining a strong core throughout the range to ensure balance and stability.
- Repeat.
