Incline Plate Press

Chest Plate

Description

The incline plate press is a variation of the chest press exercise that targets the upper portion of the chest. Individuals lie on an inclined bench with the bench angled at approximately 30-45 degrees, then press weighted plates upward from the chest until the arms are fully extended. This exercise helps to develop upper chest strength, improve shoulder stability, and enhance overall upper body pressing power when performed with proper form and control.

How To

01 Set the bench to a 30-45 degree incline
02 Hold the plate at chest height, palms pressed together
03 Brace your core and press the plate up and slightly back
04 Squeeze your chest hard at full extension
05 Lower slow and controlled back to your chest
