Wide-grip Barbell Bench Press

• Place yourself on a bench with feet flat on the floor.
• Use a collar-to-collar grip to hold the bar.
• Bring the barbell to the chest about 1” below the nipples.
• Lift the bar, arm-length.
• Maintain an outward position of the elbows and keep the chest high.
• While lowering the weight under control, make a pause at the chest.
• Keep the head on the bench and avoid arching back too acutely.
• Keep your hips on the bench throughout the exercise.
