Barbell Bench Press

2 warm-up sets of 8-12 reps followed by 4 working sets of 6-8 reps. The video does not specify an exact rest period between sets; 60 seconds is the app default.

Key points

  • Incorporate a slight natural arch in the back to stabilize the shoulders and optimize leg drive
  • Lower the barbell under control to the mid-chest while inhaling
  • Drive the bar upward forcefully along the natural pressing path while exhaling

Common mistakes

Bouncing the barbell violently off the sternum or letting the shoulders roll forward off the bench.
