Barbell Bench Press

Bench press is a popular exercise that works your chest, shoulders and triceps. Here is a short guide on how to do it with a barbell:

1. Lie down on a flat bench and grip the barbell with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Lift the barbell off the rack and hold it above your chest with your arms fully extended.
3. Lower the barbell to your chest in a controlled manner, keeping your elbows tucked in and your wrists straight.
4. Press the barbell back up to the starting position, exhaling as you do so.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
