Flat Exercise Bench

The Flat Barbell Bench Press is the staple exercise in weight training. If you ever seen anyone demonstrating weight training more often than not you will see them performing a flat barbell bench press.

To do a flat barbell bench press you need to:

1: Lie down a workout bench with your feet flat on the floor

2: Take a medium grip on the bar

3: Take the barbell off the rack and push outwards until your arms are straight.

4: Lower the bar back down until it is just above your chest

5: Repeat for desired number of reps

A common and quite dangerous mistake people make when performing flat barbell bench presses is to bounce the weight off of the chest. This is highly dangerous and will also make the workout much less effective so try to avoid doing this.

If you are attempting heavy weights as part of your training exercises then it is highly advisable that you have a partner there to spot you just in case the worst happens and the weight is too much for you to handle and you drop it. This would almost certainly result in a pretty nasty injury so make sure you always have a spotter and if you see someone attempting heavy weights themselves offer to be their spotter!

When performing this exercise never under estimate the importance of your feet in the motion. Next time you perform a press try to squeeze in with your feet before the push and see how much easier the rep is!
