Close Grip Incline Barbell Chin Press

This is a variation of a bench press to work on the shoulders, triceps, and pec tendon to build up weak areas in the bench to avoid injury. Set the bench at near a 45 degree incline. Grab the bar about shoulder width apart. Keep the elbows wide and lower the bar to your chin and then press the bar to the ceiling by locking out the elbows.

Trainer Tips: This is a great accessory lift and shouldn’t be done too heavy to avoid injury. Anything is possible depending on a person to person basis, but generally I would not use this as a max effort lift.
