35. Bench press works out most of the upper body – chest, anterior deltoids and triceps. How to do: lie on the bench with both feet on the ground and your back firmly placed on the bench. Un-rack the barbell, lift it across your chest until your elbows lock then bring it close to your
chest. Your hands should be two to three feet away from each other.
36. Do not let the barbell bounce off your chest when you do the bench press. This lowers the resistance and bruises your chest muscles. Use your strength to control the downward motion. Put rhythm into
your exercise. Count to two as you lower the barbell and one as you lift.
37. Incline bench press isolates the upper chest muscles while also working out the anterior deltoids and triceps. The angle of incline
should be within the range of 15 and 30 degrees. Higher incline lessens resistance while lower inclination removes the focus from the
upper chest muscles. As you start, try varying your angle to determine your comfort level.
