Olympic Bench Press

Olympic Bench Press:

Set up olympic bar by putting on the desired weight and secure with the collars.

Lay on the bench facing up under the bar with buttocks on the bench and your feet firmly on the ground.

Grasp barbell slightly wider than shoulder width with an overhand grip (thumbs facing each other).

Inhale while lowering the bar down to the chest in a controlled manor.

Exhale and extend the arms back to the starting position.

Wider the grip the more chest you are working and less triceps. The closer the grip the less chest you are working and the more triceps you work.
