Decline Barbell Bench Press Guide

1.Lie down on your back on a decline bench or a bench with one end elevated by a weight plate. Grab a barbell with an overhand grip that is slightly wider than shoulder-width. Hold it above your chest with arms fully extended.
2.Lower the bar down in a controlled fashion to your chest. Keep your elbows tucked close to your sides so your arms form a 45-degree angle to your body in the bottom position. Pause for a second and press the bar back to the starting position.
