How to do Incline Bench Pull

  1. 1

    Stand and lean on an incline bench (at about 30 degrees height) face down. The top on the bench should be on your chest. Hold a barbell in a overhand grip and hold your arms straight. Your palms should be facing backward. This is your starting position.

  2. 2

    Using your upper back and elbows to drive the movement, raise the barbell up until your upper arms and forearms make a 90 degree angle.

  3. 3

    After a brief pause, slowly return to the starting position.
