Bench Press Technique Essentials
🎯 Setup (The Foundation)
- • Feet flat on floor, driving into ground
- • Upper back tight, shoulder blades squeezed
- • Natural arch in lower back
- • Grip 1.5-2× shoulder width
- • Eyes directly under the bar
📐 Bar Path & Execution
- • Unrack with straight arms, bring to starting position
- • Lower to nipple line (not neck!)
- • Slight diagonal path back during press
- • Lock out fully at top
- • Maintain tightness throughout
Common Bench Press Mistakes
❌ Bouncing Off Chest
Reduces muscle tension and increases injury risk. Control the descent and touch with control.
❌ Flaring Elbows 90°
Puts excessive stress on shoulders. Keep elbows at 45-75° angle to body.
❌ Lifting Butt Off Bench
Reduces stability and is illegal in competition. Maintain contact throughout.
❌ No Spotter on Heavy Sets
Extremely dangerous. Always have a spotter or use safety pins/arms.
