How to Tilt the Seat Lift: Fitting Form and Tips

Exercise chest oblique muscles and shoulders, but what distinguishes it from other exercises is its ability to train the clavicular head of the chest, which is also referred to as “the upper part of your chest”.

The main muscle in the chest is the pectoralis major muscle, or “the large chest muscle,” which looks like this:

The main function of the chest muscle is to move the upper arm across the body (toward the sternum).

As you can see in the image above, the main pectoral muscle has multiple “heads”, or places where tendons attach to the skeleton.

over there Sternal The head, which connects the breastbone and rib cage to the top of your arm, and Collarbone The head, which connects the collar bone to the top of your arm.

Why is this important?

How muscles attach to the skeleton affects how they respond to training.

First, you need a reclining seat – ideally an adjustable seat.

Some gyms have a dedicated seat bench press, but if it isn’t at your base, you can place an adjustable bench in the squat stand. When placing it on the shelf, you want the tape to be placed directly over your face and about 2 to 3 inches less than it will be when you hold it with your elbows locked.

First, angle the seat from 30 to 45 degrees. Then adjust the seat height so that your eyes are below the bar when you lie down, as follows:

While keeping your butt steady on the seat, lift your chest up toward the bar, pinch your shoulder blades together, and pull your shoulders down toward your litter. It helps to think about pulling your shoulder blades “in your back pockets.”

Here’s what this looks like:

Hold the tape with your hands a little wider than shoulder width apart, about 22 to 28 inches, depending on your design, like this:

Hold the tape lower in your hands, closer to your wrists than your knuckles, and apply pressure as hard as you can.

Here’s what this looks like:

A good way to check the width of your fist is to have your friend stand in front of you and check where your forearms are at the bottom of the movement. You want your arms to be straight up and down, like this:

Anchor your feet on the ground shoulder width apart, and play with different positions until you find one that feels more stable.

Bend your back while keeping your shoulders and butt in contact with the seat, as follows:

Next, loosen the tape by locking your elbows to move the tape away from the hooks.

First, bend your elbows properly.

You want your elbows to remain at an angle of 50 to 75 degrees to your torso throughout the entire movement. Here is a helpful picture:

As you can see in the left photo, the upper arms are at about a 90-degree angle to the torso, and it’s tough on the shoulders. In the middle photo, the upper arms are at about a 20-degree angle, which is hard on the elbows and shoulders and reduces the amount of weight you can squeeze. The right photo shows the ideal posture, with the upper arms around 60 degrees relative to the torso.

The exact angle you use will depend on your anatomy, but the point is: Do not open your arms outward, nor keep them folded near your torso.

While keeping your elbows in place, lower the tape to the top of your chest, just below your collarbones, as follows:

As soon as the tape hits your chest (TouchedUnconverted, you’re ready to go up.

Keeping your shoulder blades down, compressed, and elbows tucked, push the bar up and away from your chest.

Lock your elbows at the top of the movement. Don’t keep them slightly curved as this unnecessarily reduces the range of motion.

You are now ready for the next actor.

Once you have the final rep in your group, you are ready to mount the tape. Do not try to press the tape directly into the hooks because if you miss it, it gets on your face, like this:

Instead, finish your final rep with the tape directly over your shoulders and your elbows closed, then pull the tape horizontally back onto the shelf.

This is!

For example, let’s say your exercise calls to 3 sets of 4 to 6 reps.

If you’re bench tilting, squeeze 135 pounds for 6 reps on your first set, then add 5 pounds each side of the bar for your next set. If, in the next set, you manage to get at least 4 reps at 145 pounds, that’s the new weight you’re working with so you can press it down for 6 reps, move up, etc.

This method is known as Double advance, Which you can learn about in this podcast:

The incline dumbbell press is similar to the incline bench press, but includes the use of dumbbells in place of a barbell.

It’s easy to learn, provides a wide range of motion, and can be easier on the shoulders, which is a nice change if you do a lot of bench press. To do this, set the bench at a 45-degree angle, hold a dumbbell in each hand, and follow the same steps as you would when doing an inclined barbell bench press.

After you have finished pressing the incline barbell or dumbbell, you can do a few sets of the incline chest press machine if you want more upper chest volume in your workout.

To do this, adjust the seat height so that the handles are just below shoulder height. Load the machine with weight, sit on the seat, grip the handles, pull your shoulders down and back, and push the handles straight up.

The incline bench press machine is very similar to the incline press machine with one major difference: the rod is attached to the machine and can move in only one plane (vertically).
