To Best Work The Pectorals Target Them From All Angles With The Decline, Flat And Incline Benches
A muscle can become accustomed to an exercise if it repeated over and over in the same angle or position. If you have been doing flat bench curls and flyes for years and are no longer seeing the results you once saw in your chest and shoulders, it is time to step up to incline training on the Power Systems Olympic Incline Bench.
This exercise is combination flat bench and overhead press. You want to strive for a 30 degree angle when performing incline exercises because more than that you will start to focus solely on the deltoids.
Frames: All equipment is machined to a minimum tolerance of +/- .030". The all-welded construction is primarily 3" x 3", 4" x 2", or 3" x 2" with 11-gauge steel and a combination of other heavy structural tubular steel.
Made in USA
Frame Finish: Powder-coated baked on finish that is scuff resistant and long wearing.
Padding & Upholstery: Padding is 2" thick virgin foam with a density of 12 lbs./cu. ft. Upholstery is 32 oz. Sulfide-stain resistant Naugahyde. All pads are top double-stitched.
To perform the incline press properly, begin by placing your feet on the floor with knees at a 90 degree angle, not in the air. Your hips should be bent and relaxed. There should be a slight arc in your back with your shoulder blades planted firm into the upper part of the bench. Your head should be slightly elevated above the rest and finally grasp the bar with your thumbs wrapped around the back.
Begin with arms extended and in place. Lower onto the top of your chest and lift back up. Do not rest the bar on your chest.
