EZ-bar Bench Press
About
The EZ-bar bench press works your chest, triceps, and shoulders. The EZ-bar grip helps reduce wrist strain.
How to EZ-bar Bench Press
Starting Position
1. Lie on the flat bench and firmly place your feet on the floor.
2. Grab the EZ bar at shoulder width and lift the bar above your chest to start.
3. Keep your elbows slightly bent and your wrists straight.
Proper Form
1. Slowly lower the bar while naturally spreading your elbows to the sides.
2. When the bar comes down just above your chest, pause for a moment.
3. Using the strength of your chest and triceps, push the bar back up to return to the starting position.
4. Do not fully lock your elbows; keep them slightly bent to maintain tension.
Breathing Technique
Inhale when lowering the bar, and exhale when pushing the bar up.
Precautions
1. Avoid using excessive weight as it puts a lot of strain on your shoulders and elbows.
2. Be careful not to overly flare your elbows to prevent shoulder pinching.
3. If possible, proceed safely with a spotter.
