Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Band Incline Palm-In Press.
The Band Incline Palm-In Press is an upper-chest exercise performed on an incline bench using a resistance band with a neutral (palms facing each other) grip. The palm-in position reduces shoulder strain and shifts tension toward the clavicular head of the pectorals.
The Band Incline Palm-In Press is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
