Instructions

1. Select the weight: Begin by selecting an appropriate weight plate that you can comfortably press for the desired number of repetitions.

2. Set the bench: Position yourself on an incline bench set to an angle of 30-45 degrees, with your back firmly against the bench.

3. Grip the plate: Hold the weight plate with both hands directly in front of your chest. Your palms should be facing each other, applying pressure to the plate to hold it in place.

4. Press the weight: Slowly push the weight upward by extending your arms, maintaining the squeezing pressure on the plate throughout the motion.

5. Hold and squeeze: Extend your arms fully at the top of the movement, pausing briefly to squeeze your chest muscles.

6. Lower the weight: Gradually lower the weight back down to the starting position, again keeping the pressure applied to the plate.

7. Repeat: Repeat the movement for the recommended amount of reps and sets, ensuring you maintain good form throughout.

Remember to choose a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with control and without compromising form. It is also important to engage the core during the exercise to keep the body stable on the bench.
