Free weight Chest Press
With the barbell, keep your hands spread so they are a littler wider than the shoulders. Keep the shoulders touching the bench and with a little tightening of the stomach, lift your chest in the air. Lift the barbell up and check to make sure your elbows are straight. When you bring the barbell down, make sure that your shoulders and elbow joints are parallel to each other. Keep repeating the activity for better results.
Barbell Incline Chest Press
Lie back on a bench, inclined at a 30 degree angle. A lot of the same procedures of the chest press are followed here. Keep the shoulders touched to the bench and with a little tightening of the stomach muscles, lift your chest in the air. Straighten your elbows by pushing the barbell straight up. Now let down the barbell, making sure that the elbow doesn’t go any further then shoulders. For the best outcome, do repetitions continually.
Deckined Free Weight Press
There’s a foot pad below the declined bench that your feet should be placed in. Now grab a barbell with distance between your hands wider than your shoulder width. Lift the barbell up so it is an arms distance from your chest. When the barbell is brought to the bottom part of the chest, make sure you stay a bit above it. If you place the elbows a certain way, your arms will make a forty-five degree angle with the chest. If your shoulder joints feel too much tension, your arms may be too far out. From your chest, push the bar to the beginning point. You may need the help of a trainer on this one. Your muscles or joints could be damaged if you strain yourself too much.
