Barbell Bench Press

1 - Lie on a flat bench with your feet planted firmly on the floor and your eyes positioned directly under the barbell.
2 - Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width with palms facing forward, keeping your wrists stacked over your elbows.
3 - Retract and depress your shoulder blades, maintain a slight natural arch in your lower back, and keep your glutes on the bench.
4 - Unrack the bar by straightening your arms and position it over your mid-chest with elbows locked or nearly locked.
5 - Lower the bar in a controlled motion to your mid-to-lower chest while keeping your elbows angled slightly away from your torso.
6 - Press the bar upward and slightly back toward the starting position until your arms are fully extended.
7 - Repeat for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining control and stable body position.
