The Barbell Bench Press: A staple for most looking to increase size and strength through the chest. And rightly so. Studies have shown that the Bench Press is one of the best exercises for eliciting a high level of muscle activity in the Pectoralis Major. This exercise will also recruit the arms and shoulders.

Tips:

• Feet flat on the floor
• Shins vertical
• Squeeze your Lats and Glutes
• Point you knuckles to the ceiling

Don’t push the bar to much too often though. Mix up grips and use Dumbells.
