Zo doe je het
Lie on the bench with your eyes under the bar and your feet flat on the floor.
Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder width, wrists stacked over your elbows.
Pull your shoulder blades back and down, keeping a slight arch in your upper back.
Unrack the bar and hold it over your shoulders with your arms straight.
Lower the bar under control to your mid-chest, elbows about 45–70 degrees from your torso.
Press the bar up and slightly back until your arms are straight over your shoulders.
Tips
- Drive your feet into the floor to stay tight through the whole rep.
- Use a spotter or safety arms when you train close to failure.
- Keep the bar path consistent by touching the same point on your chest every rep.
Veelgemaakte fouten
- Bouncing the bar off your chest instead of lowering it under control.
- Flaring your elbows straight out to the sides at 90 degrees.
- Lifting your hips off the bench to finish the press.
