NEUTRAL GRIP BARBELL BENCH PRESS "STANDARD BENCH PRESS"

 

The standard barbell bench press, or "neutral grip barbell bench press" is a crucial resistance-strength exercise in training the chest and triceps. This move can be done using dumbbells as well. Start with an overhand grip on the bar, a little wider than shoulder width. Keep wrists straight as you lower the bar to your diaphragm and raise it back to the starting position just above the chest line. Try not to lock out your elbows between repetitions.
