      To the left, is a video of the barbell bench press from bodybuilding.com.  A few key tips to help you with your form: First, when first unracking the bar, hold the bar in the upward position for 1-2 seconds.  This is called preloading and will help you produce more force when you lift! 2nd, when lowering the bar, lower the bar in a path in line with your nipples. 3rd, When lowering the bar, just lowering the bar until the upper arms are parallel to the floor is sufficient! If you can go further pain free, that is fine too!  Any further questions, shoot me a message on my contact page!
