NEXT LEVEL TIPS: WHAT THE PRESS?!
There are so many chest press variations out there but which one is actually right for you?
Swipe to find out ๐๐ผ
FLOOR PRESS
These are a great variation if the chest press is new to you as the floor limits how deep your arms can go. A great way to learn the correct arm position and pathway.
DUMBBELL BENCH PRESS
This is a great option if you want to work on range of motion and stability. Each arm works independently, so no cheating with your stronger arm.
Being positioned on the bench helps challenge range of motion as your elbows can move further past your body.
BARBELL BENCH PRESS
This is a great variation to build some serious strength as youโre able to load the most weight. The bar path is simple and stable too as itโs two hands pushing on one barbell rather than two separate dumbbells.
Note: the fixed hand position might not be suitable or comfortable for anyone with shoulder issues.
INCLINE BENCH PRESS
This is a great variation as it is more joint friendly for the shoulders and reduces stress on the low back.
Can be done with dumbbells or the barbell.
Hereโs the thing no single press is โthe bestโ. The best one is whichever fits your body and your goals!
