Chest Press ( Bench Press )

Basic workout for chest press to learn how to focus on each rep with proper technique to get used to it, gain strength, and to get it in shape.

Machine Flat Bench Press:
Even though you are working out on the machine try not to load over weight. Place a bench under the machine and make sure it is in the center of the barbell.

   -  Lie down on the bench and hold the barbell wider than the shoulder.
   -  Now, lift the barbell to release the lock and breath in.
   -  Slowly bring the barbell down towards your lower chest.
  -   Hold it just above your lower chest.
  -   Lift the barbell rod slowly upwards while breathing out.
  -   Do at least for 10 to 12 reps.
  -   Relax and do 3 to 4 sets of workout.

The Machine acts as spotter but if you are loading more weight ask your friend or the trainer to spot you.
