Incline Barbell Bench - High Rep Partials for Upper Chest

This is a partial-rep version of the incline barbell bench press. Doing partials allows you to use more weight on the exercise - for me, having bad shoulders means my full-range incline is terrible. The partial range allows me to hit the upper chest with heavy weight, which also targets the connective tissue. The high reps help improve blood flow to the muscle, improving muscle growth potential as well.

dude, sorry but this isnt gonna do anything... for any muscle really. maybe ur triceps a LITTLE but pretty much nothing. btw ur ches isnt even engaged with this

[nilssonnick]

@iDPG95 From my own experience in using the exercise (for me, at least), I find it really hits the upper chest well - I get a lot out of it. Have you tried incline bench partials before and not got much out of it?

[iDPG95]

@nilssonnick no ive never tried partials, i just dont see how ur chest is really being engaged with that range of motion

[nilssonnick]

@iDPG95 You really have to focus on the movement as you're doing it to affect the chest - the triceps and shoulders can absolutely take it over, especially if you allow your chest and back to flatten out onto the bench, which can happen with heavy weight. If you keep the shoulders back and chest out, and really mentally engage the pecs, it can really be a good one.

@iDPG95 Sounds good - it's definitely worth a try, I think.

@KyoOmaya

you're probably a weakling who always lacks proper technique. hell you probably don't even know how to work out

[KyoOmaya]

@kingmansniper23 LOL????

you need to do your research better man

this partial rep stuff isnt as good as SCT (Static Contraction Training) but it works pretty well

[nilssonnick]

@kingmansniper23  - partial training is actually a very good technique. Have you ever tried partial training?
