Fitness Bars - Bench Press

 

This exercise is designed specifically to be performed with the Body-Solid Fitness Bars. 

 

Lie flat on your back, on a bench, or a fitness ball. 

 

Position arms at sides so the elbows are at mid-chest and the palms face forward, gripping a fitness bar with a shoulder-width grip. 

 

Press the bar towards the ceiling until elbows are nearly locked, hold, and then lower slowly to starting position, making sure the elbows do not come below the bench.
