Barbell Bench Press with 1 board
Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Barbell Bench Press with 1 board
- Have a spotter help you lift the barbell from the rack, or if you're confident, lift it off the rack yourself, holding it straight over your chest with your arms fully extended.
- Place a one board (a piece of wood, typically 2x6 inches) on your chest. This board will limit how far you lower the barbell, increasing the focus on your triceps.
- Lower the barbell slowly until it lightly touches the board on your chest, keeping your elbows at a 90-degree angle and your wrists straight.
- Push the barbell back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms but not locking your elbows, and repeat for your desired number of repetitions.
