The PowerBlock Decline Bench Press strengthens the lower chest muscles and anterior shoulder muscles. This is a challenging exercise and should be performed with a spotter for safety. It is common for the decline bench press to be included in bodybuilding routines as a means to develop a symmetrical chest.

Description

• Lying on a bench with your feet firmly on the ground, hold the PowerBlock dumbbells directly over the chest, arms straight.
• Keep your chest up at all time, and allow the lower back to maintain a natural arch (not excessive).
• Lower the weights to the sides until they are level with the top of the chest.
• Press them back up to straight arms, preventing them from touching at the top.

ProTip

• Keep your chest up.

Mistakes

• Over-arching the lower back.
• Lifting the hips off the bench.
• Pushing the head back against the bench.
