LIBRARY / CHEST PRESS

Wide-Grip Bench Press (Barbell)

Also called Wide-Grip Barbell Bench Press, BB Wide-Grip Bench Press

How to do it

Lie back on a flat bench with the feet flat and the shoulder blades pinned, gripping the bar wider than shoulder width. Lower the bar to the mid-chest under control, then press to a full lockout. The wide grip shortens the range and biases the chest.
