Incline bench pull instructions:
- Grab a barbell or dumbbell in each hand and lie face down on a bench set to a 45-degree incline, and position your feet either side for stability.
- Let your arms hang down by your sides fully extended as they point to the floor, then turn the wrists until your hands have a pronated grip.
- Lift either the barbell or dumbbells toward your face until the upper arms are at the same level as your back.
- Hold for a count, then return back down slowly to the starting position.
- Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
