Bench Press

Form Cues

• Set up with eyes under the bar and a grip slightly wider than shoulder-width.

• Maintain a slight back arch and plant feet firmly for stability.

• Lower the bar with control towards the lower chest or upper abdomen.

• Keep elbows at a 90-degree angle, avoiding excessive flaring.

• Ensure a straight bar path, moving the bar back over the chest.

• Inhale deeply before descent, exhale forcefully during the push.

• Grip the bar securely and keep hands symmetrical.

• Avoid bouncing the bar off the chest and maintain control throughout.

• Use a spotter for safety, communicating set and rep goals.

• Strive for consistent form with a focus on the mind-muscle connection.
