Barbell Incline Bench Press

Prescription — 3 × 6–10

Day — Thursday — Push (Delts)

What & why

• Upper-chest + front-delt biased press. On the push/delt day it complements the flat bench and feeds shoulder development.

Cues

• ~30° bench, same setup as flat: shoulder blades back, controlled descent to upper chest, drive up and slightly back.

Programming

• 3 × 6–10. Can go to ~1–2 RIR since it's secondary, not your heaviest barbell lift.

How to progress

• Double progression; paused-rep or closer-grip variations when it stalls. → Progression
