BARBELL BENCH PRESS

The barbell bench press is an upper body exercise that builds size and strength in the upper body, specifically in the chest, triceps, and shoulders.

1)

Lie on your back on a bench. Grasp a barbell with an overhand grip just wider than shoulder-width apart and hold it above your chest with your arms fully extended. This will be your starting position.

2)
Lower the bar straight down in a controlled motion. Make sure you keep your elbows tucked in close to your body so your upper arms form a 45-degree angle to your body in the down position. Pause, and then press the bar in a straight line back up to the starting position.
