Lie on an incline bench press. With your back flat on the bench, grip the barbell with palms facing up, about 8-12 inches wider than shoulder-width. Lift the barbell off the rack to the starting position, which is straight above your face, arms extended fully. Slowly lower the barbell until it touches your upper chest. Your elbows should be pointed out while the rest of your body remains in position. Slowly raise (push) the barbell to the starting position while flexing (squeezing together) your chest.
