Chest Exercises - Wide Grip Barbell Bench Press
Wide Grip Barbell Bench Press
Exercise Advice: This exercise is exactly the
same as the medium grip barbell bench press except that your grip
will be as wide apart as possible. 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 as wide as possible. 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!
