Bench Press

Now you'll move into a compound lift with the classic barbell bench press. Take a grip that's slightly wider than shoulder width—or even wider if that feels more comfortable when you press. Reps 1-5 will be a slow tempo on the eccentric portion of the lift (count 5 seconds in your head), and reps 6-10 will be a slow count on the concentric portion of the lift.

For the bench press, it's important to maintain a tight upper back—this will help make the pressing movement easier and keep your shoulders stable, which helps prevent injury. A useful cue to help you stay tight is to think about "bending the bar" as you bring it down to your chest.
