About Bench Press

The bench press is one of the most popular strength training exercises and a key measure of upper body strength. It primarily targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps.

Training Tips:

  • Proper Form: Keep your back flat, feet planted, and control the weight
  • Progressive Overload: Gradually increase weight or reps over time
  • Frequency: Train bench press 1-3 times per week
  • Accessory Work: Include tricep and shoulder exercises

Safety Considerations:

  • Always use a spotter for heavy lifts
  • Warm up properly before lifting
  • Use proper breathing technique
  • Don't sacrifice form for weight
