How To Bench Press Correctly & Safely

The bench press is already the most popular exercise performed across the country. But So Many People Do it Wrong

– Teaches how to maintain a stable shoulder position for everyday movements – Allows for the maximum number of upper body muscles to be trained simultaneously

BENEFITS OF THE BENCH PRESS

– Chest – Triceps – Forearms – Anterior Deltoids – Glutes (if done correctly)

MUSCLES TRAINED DURING THE BENCH PRESS

– Approach a bench press rack that has a barbell set at a comfortable rack height – Then, retract and squeeze your scapulae together when laying on the bench.

PERFORMING THE BENCH PRESS PROPERLY

This is where most people get it wrong- you MUST maintain scapular retraction throughout the movement!

– Next, set your grip at a distance that is wider than shoulder-width while keeping your pinky fingers within the rings marked on the barbell – Always wrap your thumbs completely around the bar
