# Bench Press
|
||||
|
||||
The barbell press — lying on the flat bench, lower the bar to the chest
|
||||
and press it back to straight arms.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Free-weight horizontal press
|
||||
- **Targets:** Chest, front delts, triceps
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 6–8
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Lie with eyes under the bar, feet flat on the floor, shoulder blades
|
||||
pinched back and down. Grip a little wider than shoulder-width and
|
||||
unrack to straight arms over the shoulders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Lower the bar under control to the mid-chest, elbows about 45° from
|
||||
the body.
|
||||
2. Touch lightly — no bounce.
|
||||
3. Press back up and slightly toward the face to lockout over the
|
||||
shoulders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Shoulder blades stay pinched against the bench the whole set.
|
||||
- Wrists stacked over elbows; bar sits low in the palm.
|
||||
- Feet drive quietly into the floor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Bouncing the bar off the chest.
|
||||
- Elbows flared straight out at 90°.
|
||||
- Hips lifting off the bench.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add small plates while every rep touches and locks out; a spotter or
|
||||
safety pins once the loads get honest.
