CORRECT FORM:

• Lay down on a flat bench,where you usually perform the bench press.

• Grip the bench with your hands.It differs from the bench press in its hand placement.Place your hands on the bar,thumb width apart.

• Inhale as bring the bar towards your chest.Make sure your elbows come down,almost touching the sides of your torso.

• Stretch your chest and tricep muscles at the bottom.Exhale as you push the bar up.

• Make sure you dont lock your elbows at the top.This will take some pressure off your chest and tricep muscles.

• This will complete one repetition.Do at-least 10-12 repetitions in 1 set.

• There is no need to pick heavy weights.What you bench is almost the same weight you should pick on this,but give significance to correct form over heavy weights.
