Exercise Description

The inline bench french press builds massive tricep strength and size. It hits your triceps from a unique angle that regular pressing movements can't match.

How To

1. Lie on a bench holding a barbell with arms extended straight up over your chest 2. Keep your upper arms still and slowly lower the barbell toward your forehead by bending at the elbows 3. Stop when the bar is about an inch from your forehead, feeling a deep stretch in your triceps 4. Press the weight back up using only your triceps, keeping your upper arms locked in position throughout the inline bench french press 5. Complete your reps with controlled movement, never letting the bar bounce off your head

Form Tips

• Keep your upper arms perfectly still during the entire inline bench french press - only your forearms should move • Use a grip slightly narrower than shoulder-width for better tricep activation • Lower the weight slowly to maximize muscle tension and control • Don't let your elbows flare out wide - keep them pointing toward the ceiling

Common Mistakes

• Moving your upper arms during the inline bench french press instead of keeping them locked in position • Using too much weight and losing control, which can lead to hitting yourself in the face • Lowering the bar too fast without controlling the negative portion of the movement
