How to Bench Press with Proper Form
The bench press develops chest, shoulders, and triceps. Setup: Eyes under the bar, feet planted on floor, slight arch in lower back. Grip 1.5x shoulder width, wrists straight. Unrack by pressing up, not pulling forward. Lower to mid-chest with control—2-3 seconds. Touch lightly, pause, then press up and slightly back toward your face. Keep shoulder blades pinched together throughout for stability and shoulder health.
