Many see the barbell bench press as the staple exercise for building muscle mass and improving upper body strength. Along with targetting the pectorals, the exercise actives a host of other muscles including the shoulders, biceps, triceps and the lats.

Instructions:

Step 1: Lie on a flat bench in a supine position and grab the barbell with a shoulder-width pronated grip. Position the barbell in front of the chest with bent elbows.

Step 2: Slowly raise the barbell until your arms are fully extended. Try to push the bar using your chest muscles for better activation of the target muscle group.

Step 3: Pause for a moment and return to the initial position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tips: Novice and amateur trainers are advised to perform this exercise with the help of a spotter. Keep your elbows close to the body during the entire duration of the exercise.
