5 ways to pump lift the chest

#5 Decline Barbell Bench Press

The decline barbell bench press is an advanced variation of the standard barbell bench press that targets the major pectoral muscles with increased accuracy. Additionally, the exercise goes a long way towards improving the triceps in the arms.

Instructions:

Step 1: Set an appropriate angle and lie down on the decline bench. Ensure that you lock your feet in place before starting the exercise. Hold a barbell with a medium width grip while positioning the palms away from the body. In the initial position, position it directly above the shoulders with fully extended arms.

Step 2: Gradually lower the arms until the barbell is just inches above the chest region.

Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tips: Do not use momentum to lower the weights as it could lead to a serious injury. Beginners are advised to perform the exercise with the help of a spotter.
