Chest Exercises - Barbell Bench Press
Barbell Bench Press
Exercise Advice: Position yourself on a regular
free weight flat bench press machine. Lie flat on your back and
grab the barbell above you with a grip slightly beyond shoulder
width apart. Lift the barbell off of the rack and slowly lower it
to about 3 inches above your chest and then press the bar back to
the start position. DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR TO YOUR CHEST (this causes
unneeded stress on your shoulder joints and takes the tension away
from your pec muscles, which are what we want to be doing the work!).
Be sure that when you are lowering the bar that you do so in a slow
and controlled fashion. Conversely, when you press the bar upward,
you want to do so in an explosive fashion. Repeat this movement
for as many repetitions as you can until failure. Remember to always
use a spotter when performing this and almost every other free weight
exercise!
