TIPS:

Ø The inclined bench angle can be changed between 30 to 60 degrees.

Ø Changing the  inclined bench angle helps you to hit the different muscle a little differently  with every single degree change.

Ø Keep your head resting down against the bench and your legs on the floor at all times.

Ø Lift as much weight as you can do with smooth form. As too much weight leads to a bad form.

Ø This exercise can also be done by using weight plate and barbell.

Ø Pace, while doing the exercise must be slow or medium.
