Exercise Description

The wide grip decline bench press targets your lower chest while hitting shoulders and triceps. It builds size and strength in the lower pecs better than flat bench.

How To

1. Set the decline bench to 15-30 degrees and secure your feet in the foot pads. 2. Lie back and grip the barbell with hands wider than shoulder-width apart. 3. Unrack the weight and lower it slowly to your lower chest in the wide grip decline bench press motion. 4. Press the bar up explosively while keeping your wide grip position steady. 5. Complete your reps and carefully rack the weight with control.

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire wide grip decline bench press movement. • Lower the bar to your lower chest, not your neck or upper chest area. • Don't let your elbows flare out too wide - keep them at about 45 degrees. • Drive through your whole hand, not just your palms, for better control.

Common Mistakes

• Lowering the bar too high on your chest instead of targeting the lower pecs in wide grip decline bench press. • Gripping too wide which puts stress on your shoulders and reduces power. • Bouncing the weight off your chest instead of controlling the movement with a brief pause.
