The guillotine press is an old school upper chest exercise that was made popular by Vince Gironda (aka The Iron Guru).

It's basically a bench press variation where you lower the barbell to your neck line. The purpose of this is that it targets more of the upper chest and helps to build the upper pecs more so then doing bench presses where you lower the bar to the center of your chest.

Even though it sounds dangerous to lower the bar to your neck, it's not when you do the exercise properly and lift within your means. This is NOT a power move, you won't be able to lift the same weight as you do for regular bench presses. Rather the guillotine press is a very strict isolation move and should be done with lighter weights and very strict form.

I recommend doing this exercise in a power rack or a bench press that has safety pins to catch the barbell to prevent it from actually coming down across your neck, throat, or hitting you in the face.

The key to doing this move properly is to shrug your shoulders high and keep your elbows out wide while doing the exercise. Grip the bar very tightly and lower the bar slowly under control to your neck line, then press it back up keeping the tension on the upper chest muscles.
