A weight lifting bench press is a specific type of power lift used by lifters to test strength in the arms and
upper body. It is a popular lift since it requires minimal equipment. The barbells and the weight bench
are used in various exercises. It is a primary exercise for weight training, body building and fitness
enhancement for the chest area.

Barbell Type Press
The lift usually begins with the individual on his back on the bench. Both feet should be flat on the floor
or on the bench itself. The lifter grasps the barbell with both hands equidistant from the weight and
lowers the weight to the chest and then raises it again. At full extension, the arms are straight up and
the elbows are locked. The back and buttocks remain in contact with the bench and the shoulders
blades are squeezed to provide further stability.
Change of Angle
The flat bench is the best known and is the generic position. By changing the angle of a bench itself,
additional muscle groups can be incorporated into the development of your chest, shoulders and arms.
The term "bench press" usually refers to this lifting position. In the flat position, the knees may be
opened up, the feet placed on the bench rather than the floor.
An incline bench press lowers the pelvic region and elevates the shoulders. This type of exercise routine
works the deltoid muscles and the upper portion of your chest. A decline bench press lifts the pelvis and
lowers the head and shoulders. The purpose of the decline press is to work the lower portion of the
chest and the deltoids.
