Workout of the Week (WOW): Bench Your Way to Stronger Pecs with the Chest Press đź’Ş
The chest press, often called the bench press, is a classic upper body move that targets your chest, shoulders, and triceps. It’s the go-to exercise for anyone looking to build a strong, well-defined upper body.
âś… Form Matters: Lie flat on the bench with your feet planted. Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width. Lower the bar slowly to your chest and push back up with control. Avoid flaring your elbows or bouncing the bar.
💡 Whether you’re using a barbell, dumbbells, or a chest press machine, the key is controlled movement and proper form to activate the right muscles.
The bench press is more than a “chest day” favorite — it builds strength, enhances posture, and improves performance in other lifts too.
