Warm up: keep these slow and controlled. No explosive movements.
Primary muscle group(s):
Chest
Secondary:
Abs, Shoulders, Triceps
  1. Set up a bench or stable elevated surface. Begin with both hands on the bench at shoulder-width or just outside of shoulder-width.
  2. Place your feet straight behind you while you tighten your abs and engage the hips. Your hips should not dip or elevate too high during the movement.
  3. Slowly lower yourself towards the bench. Once your upper arms are parallel with the floor, pause, and return to the starting position.
Primary muscle group(s):
Chest
Secondary:
Triceps
  1. Set a barbell in a weight rack at the low end of a decline bench, making sure it is at a height you can reach without fully extending your arms.
  2. Secure your feet under the stirrup, bar or strap at the high end of the bench and lie flat on your back with the rack slightly behind you.
  3. Using an overhand grip, grip the bar with your hands slightly wider than your shoulder width apart.
  4. Push up to lift the bar from the rack and hold it directly over you with your arms locked.
  5. Bend your elbows to slowly lower the barbell until it slightly touches your chest, inhaling as you do so.
  6. Drive the weight back up by contracting your pec muscles and return to the start position, exhaling as you do so.
  7. At the top of the movement, lock your arms and squeeze your chest muscles.

If you are new at this exercise, you should use a spotter. If no spotter is available, then be conservative with the amount of weight used. Do not  let the bar drift too far forward, it should touch down your lower chest only. Don't bounce the weight off your chest. Keep full control of the barbell at all times. When performing this exercise, use a 2:1:1 count. That is a count of two on the downward movement. Pause for a count of one. A count of one one the upward movement. You can also use dumbbells or exercise bands to perform this exercise.

Primary muscle group(s):
Chest, Triceps
Secondary:
Abs, Shoulders
  1. Place a pair of dumbbells on the floor next to a decline bench. Secure yourself in the bench. Pick up dumbbells and hold them above you with a slight bend in the elbow.
  2. Keeping the dumbbells in line with your chest, slowly open up your arms to the sides.
  3. Stop when your upper arms are parallel with the floor.
  4. Squeeze your chest muscles and slowly return to starting position. Repeat.

  1. Clean two kettlebells to your shoulders. Clean the kettlebells to your shoulders by extending through the legs and hips as you pull the kettlebells towards your shoulders. Rotate your wrists as you do so. This will be your starting position.
  2. Begin to squat by flexing your hips and knees, lowering your hips between your legs. Maintain an upright, straight back as you descend as low as you can.
  3. At the bottom, reverse direction and stand by extending your knees and hips and pushing down through your heels. As you do so, press both kettlebells overhead by extending your arms straight up, using the momentum from the squat to help drive the weights upward.
  4. As you begin the next repetition, return the weights to the shoulders.
