How to do it

Wide Bench Press (Barbell), step by step

  1. 01

    Lie on a flat bench with your eyes under the bar and your feet flat on the floor.

  2. 02

    Take a grip noticeably wider than shoulder width and unrack the bar over your chest.

  3. 03

    Lower the bar slowly to your mid chest, the wide grip means a shorter distance to travel.

  4. 04

    Touch your chest lightly, then press back up.

  5. 05

    Use lighter weight than your normal bench, as the wide grip puts more stress on your shoulders.
